What an amazing and interesting speaker we had this past week at our meeting. Paul Werrell from The Impact Project spoke about Community Justice Panels. Community Justice Panels are a community based alternative program for first time juvenile offenders who have had minor issues with the law, to realize that there are better opportunities and a better way of life. For further information go to www.theimpactprojectinc.net. This is an amazing program with a lot of opportunity for the community to get involved with their local youth.
Upcoming events are:
Our annual lunch and meeting at Musikfest. This will be held on Wednesday August 7 at noon behind the Steel Stage. If you have not done so, please RSVP to Jack Worsely by July 31 at 484-515-0071.
Iron Pigs game with the Boys & Girls Club of Bethlehem on Thursday August 8. Cost is $39 per person, which includes game ticket, food and soft drinks. Please RSVP to Jill Long by July 31 at jillwilsonlong@gmail.com
District Governor Katie Farrell will be joining our meeting on Wednesday August 14. Please be sure to be there to hear from our District Governor and our exciting Rotary year ahead.
And finally we have a new Service Opportunity. We have partnered with CADB – Community Action Development Bethlehem, a part of Community Action Lehigh Valley. We have sponsored their Back to School backpack program this year and have the opportunity to help set up and hand out the backpacks to the children in our community! I am looking for a few volunteers on Friday August 23 from 3pm until about 6pm. They are requesting 2-3 volunteers each to set up, handout and break down. Please RSVP to me lpage0104@gmail.com by Friday 8/16 if you are interested in helping out!
Have a wonderful week and I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday at the Perkins on 3rd St!
