Service Charman Ed Wagman and a team of Rotarians from York North participated in a service project at Crispus Attucks in downtown York.
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Crispus Attucks hosts a community breakfast, and York North Rotary assists by helping prepare the grits for the meal. In addition, several club members volunteer to serve breakfast to those who attend.
This event is held in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and celebrates his legacy of service and community.
York North Rotary has proudly supported this project for about 10 years, continuing to live out Rotary’s guiding principle: Service Above Self.

The Harrisburg Peace Garden Association invites you to attend a reception supporting the Harrisburg Peace Garden and honoring the memory of
John Judson, MD
Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025, 5:30 - 7:30 pm West Shore Country Club, Camp Hill
Thirty-five years have passed since the founding of the Harrisburg Peace Garden. Now an iconic symbol of the city and the region, it has served as a gift to the community and a call for peace and good will since 1990. Now it’s time again to celebrate the spirit that led Jim and Sandy Jones and Physicians for Social Responsibility to establish the Garden with the city’s blessing, and the people responsible for its endurance.
This year we will celebrate the memory and contributions of John Judson, MD, a critical figure in providing for the the Foundation’s partnership with the Rotary Club of Harrisburg. A surgeon, John practiced general surgery for several years before his residency in cardio-thoracic surgery. He taught and practiced in various places around the country before settling in Harrisburg. He had a special love of Haiti, where he served three months of his residency. John and his wife, Ann Marie, lived there for two years when he served as Director of Surgery at Haiti’s Hospital Albert Schweitzer, and he returned many times to volunteer his services to Haiti’s neediest patients.
A member of Rotary for many years, he served as President of the Rotary Club of Harrisburg and later as District Governor. Also a member of the local chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility, he was instrumental in procuring Rotary’s partnership in handling aspects of the Peace Garden’s long-term funding and volunteerism. An avid pilot, he also flew Angel Flights for people needing transportation for hospital care. Married to Ann Marie Judson and father to their five children, he continued his volunteerism at Bethany Village, where he started the Ecology team and helped residents with their technology needs.
Please join us in remembering John’s dedication to peace through his medical mission work and his efforts on behalf of the Peace Garden. Proceeds will support the work of the Harrisburg Peace Garden Association.
Join us on Oct. 15 for heavy hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, a good time - and a chance to support the Peace Garden and honor John’s memory!
