Every year, a signature event for our Rotary club is the renowned “Chefs of the Burbs”. During this event attendees from our community sample the wonderful food creations from close two 2 dozen local restaurants,  participate in a silent and live auctions, and enjoy an evening of community celebration. All of this benefitting local charitable organizations. 
 
On May 17, 2023 we held our 17th annual Chefs of the Burbs, on the beautiful grounds of Prophecy Creek Manor.  It was a sold-out event with over 325 people in attendance. We  are so grateful to our many sponsors for the event, including Lauro Painting, Wegmans, Montgomery Community College, Jefferson Medical College, the Clarence J. Venne Foundation, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Tompkins, Joseph Levine & Sons, Steven Binnick MD, Keller Williams, and Vogel Giving Fund. We raised over $70,000  to benefit the Wissahickon Boys & Girls Club, Do Better 4 Steve, Family Promise Montco PA, and the Foundation of Blue Bell Rotary.

Rotaplast International has been providing reconstructive surgeries for 25 years to children with cleft lip, cleft palate, burns, and other anomalies in countries where they would not receive reconstructive surgeries. So far, Rotaplast has supported 220 missions to 26 countries, treating 20,200 patients and creating enormous international goodwill.
 
For over a dozen years, Blue Bell Rotary has been supporting Rotaplast through our District 7430 Rotaplast team. Blue Bell Rotarians, husband and wife team Andy Johanson and Wendy Axelrod help raise funds ($100,00 per mission) that send multidisciplinary volunteer medical teams to provide reconstructive surgeries. These surgeries normalize the children and their families, so they can join their community and pursue a highly functional, active, and happy life. Just as important, beginning in 2010, Andy and Wendy have traveled to these economically challenged countries to participate, hands-on, in numerous 2-week medical missions.
 
Though there has been a pandemic hiatus, our next mission will be scheduled once funds are secured.    Blue Bell Rotary is a proud supporter of this humanitarian effort, and we are gratified to continue helping transform hundreds of lives in the coming years.
