Next week our meeting will be our annual Thanksgiving luncheon with special guest District Governor Diane Donaher. I have issued invitations to the other area Rotary Clubs and expect to have attendees from Morning Star, Allentown and Nazareth. I am excited during this time of Thanksgiving to share fellowship and gratitude with our other area clubs. Please email me at lknerr@qnbbank.com to confirm your plans to attend.
We will not have a meeting November 22, but will return on the 29th for a lunchtime meal followed by our Tastes & Tunes Goes to the Races meeting at 1pm. Please feel free to join the committee meeting. Nominations for a beneficiary are still open until December 1st. Please email your suggestions to bethlehemnatr@gmail.com
In other news, we are looking for a Rotarian to be the Youth Program Chair and oversee our Interact program, as well as our B.E.S.T student. Maria Dietrich will be leaving the club at the end of December and will work with whoever is willing to take over these roles. If you are interested please reach out to me.
The District Governor Nominee Designate application time has been extended to November 17, 2023. Please email your suggested nominations to Past District Governor (PDG) Robert Hobaugh no later than end of day Friday November 17, 2023 at this email address: rotarianbob@hometownu.com
I also have sad news for those who were not in attendance Wednesday. Long time Rotarian Robert Schenkel passed away recently. Services will be 11am Friday November 17 at Cathedral Church of the Nativity on Wyandotte Street.
