Most obituaries published in the Reading Eagle are submitted through funeral homes and cremation services, but we will accept submissions from families. Obituaries can be emailed to obituaries@readingeagle.com.
In addition to the text of the obituary, any photographs that you wish to include can be attached to this email. Please put the text of the obituary in a Word document, a Google document or in the body of the email. The Reading Eagle also requires a way to verify the death, so please include either the phone number of the funeral home or cremation service that is in charge of the deceased’s care or a photo of his/her death certificate. We also request that your full name, phone number and address are all included in this email.
All payments by families must be made with a credit card. We will send a proof of the completed obituary before we require payment. The obituary cannot run, however, until we receive payment in full.

Students explored, experimented, and engaged with new subject areas to ignite their imaginations and grow their enthusiasm for learning during a four-day STEM Youth Explorer Academy held for aspiring 8th-grade students at Kutztown University, July 9-12.
“I learned how to collaborate and share ideas. If my friends asked me about STEM YEA, I would say “YES!” Alex, a student from Kutztown, said in a statement.
Rotary Clubs in District 7430 came together to sponsor students from schools in Montgomery, Bucks, Berks, Lehigh, and Northampton counties. Thanks to scholarships provided by 25 Rotary Clubs, 64 students from 28 middle schools participated in the STEM experience.
“Rotary District 7430 is grateful for the Rotarian volunteers who collaborate to make this academy experience for youth who may lack access to such opportunities,” Gary Englehardt, STEM YEA volunteer coordinator, said in the release. “Together, we have provided an event helping to shape the future for our youth by providing not only the STEM YEA experience but also a gateway to other Rotary Youth Leadership Award programs.”
STEM YEA is a Rotary District 7430-wide cooperation, formed by an exploratory team of Rotarians with various skill sets to develop and implement an opportunity for students interested in STEM.
STEM YEA delivers more than science, technology, engineering, and mathematics concepts. This enriching opportunity for students develops a variety of skill sets that our rapidly changing world needs, according to the release.
In addition to developing leadership skills, Tower Health resources provided CPR, Stop the Bleed, and bicycle safety courses.
At the celebration dinner, Mars Habitat projects were displayed to parents and friends.
The celebration included comments from Dr. Laurie McMillan, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Kutztown University.
Students received a certificate and a class picture from Rotary District 7430 District Governor Jeremiah Sensening.
Plans are already underway for 2027 STEM YEA, July 8-11, 2027, at Kutztown University. For more information, visit www.STEMYEA.com or on social media.
Rotary District 7430 offers a variety of youth-focused programs designed to develop leadership skills, promote service, and foster global citizenship. If you are interested in learning more about Rotary District 7430 and our impact, visit www.rotarydistrict7430.org.
