Welcome

Dear Community Partner,

Please join and support your community, with honorary chairs MAYOR J. WILLIAM REYNOLDS AND DR. NATALIE BIEBER, at the 10th annual Rotary Tastes & Tunes event, Sunday, October 2, at 617 E. Fourth Street on the Southside. We will offer a choice of 2 dinner seatings: at 3 pm and 6pm and the option of curbside pickup. Taste & Tunes is a terrific way to gain visibility for your business among community and business leaders.

Sponsors will receive access to all promotional materials. Their logos will be prominently displayed at the event, and on the Bethlehem Rotary and BES websites and social media pages. Sponsors at $1,250 and above will receive VIP tickets, and have their logos displayed on digital billboards throughout the Valley, including along Route 22 and Interstate 78.

This year’s proceeds will be shared equally between the Bethlehem Rotary Foundation’s local grants program AND Bethlehem Emergency Sheltering which is seeking a permanent year-round location. The new location would include room for families - making it the ONLY EMERGENCY SHELTER for FAMILIES in the Valley.

You and your guests will enjoy delicious fare provided by Chef Sue, formerly of Northampton Community College’s culinary program and key player in several successful restaurants including Susan’s Catering. Chef Sue will be joined by friends who are some of the most talented chefs in the Valley. Each chef will prepare a time-honored home recipe.

While enjoying food, friends, and local musical entertainment, you'll also be able to open your phone and begin bidding on an exciting weeklong online auction.

Your participation is needed. The nearly 100 business and community leaders who make up the Bethlehem Rotary Club THANK YOU as do the staff and volunteers of BES on behalf of our street neighbors.

Sincerely,

Rev. Hopeton Clennon, Bethlehem Rotary President

Bob Rapp, Bethlehem Emergency Sheltering Executive Director

It is in reverence of our homes, our safe space where we love and are loved, where we nurture and are nurtured, where we find rest, comfort, and peace that we present the Bethlehem Rotary's 2022 Tastes & Tunes -- a dinner event to extend the comforts of home to our street neighbors.
