New Castle, DE –At their Annual Dinner on October 10, 2019, Easterseals Delaware & Maryland’s Eastern Shore, a leading provider of services for children and adults with disabilities and their families, will join a national celebration of the 100th anniversary of Easterseals as an indispensable resource for people and families living with disabilities.

Rotary District 7630 will be presented with the Easterseals Drex Jones Volunteer Award at the dinner, to be held at the Chase Center on the Riverfront.
