Monthly RAGAS Committee Meeting
Aug 01, 2022 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
The Rotary Club of Bethlehem's Rotary Action Group Against Slavery (RAGAS) Committee meets the first Monday of each month at 7:00 PM. 
 
The global focus of this Rotary International action group is eliminating all forms and systems of human trafficking especially child trafficking, in some cases involving children as young as 4 years of age.  It's an issue globally, but it's also an issue right here in the Lehigh Valley that has moved our local Rotary Club to take up the cause.

Our club records indicate at least a dozen new members joined after the last session so we expect to have a robust group! 
 
New members:  We will reach out to each of you individually.  However - in an effort to get this on your schedules as soon as possible, please sign up using the following Doodle Poll Link:

Lace up your sneakers and experience Bethlehem from the vantage point of our street neighbors. Rotary board member Deb Walter, City of Bethlehem Planning Director and Rotarian Darlene Heller, and Bethlehem Emergency Sheltering Executive Director Bob Rapp lead us from Sand Island to the Minsi Trail Bridge and on to Christ Church where we will grab a walking brown bag lunch. See and hear about the challenges of our street neighbors and learn about the plans the city has to meet their needs as we walk.

We will meet at 11 am on Saturday, September 24, at Sand Island for a two-hour stroll that includes lunch. Please wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. Our lunch is offered at no cost. You may make a donation to cover your lunch which will be prepared and provided by BES volunteers.
