Newtown Theatre Newtown Rotary's pet project, the restoration of the Newtown Theatre, is ongoing. The original theatre was built in 1831 on land deeded to the community by William Penn. Play a part in this cause by purchasing a brick for the sidewalk. It will be engraved with your name, business name, or commemoration. See info about upcoming events! |

Sri Lanka Our esteemed president, Dr. Howard Laister, travaled to Sri Lanka to see first hand how the reconstruction is progressing after their devastating tsunami. In 2005 we rebuilt a house there.

The esteemed doctor is now working on a project to provide inexpensive lap top computers to children in under-developed nations. |
