With thanks again to Kathy Sebia and KingSpry, we met in their spacious sixth floor conference on Wednesday August 31 to take part in a spirited conversation with our new District Governor Len Gieseler, who was introduced for us by Kathy Heller from the Nazareth Club. Among the many new things we learned from DG Len– was that all Rotaract members are now full Rotary members. This will be an exciting year!

Experience Bethlehem from the vantage point of persons experiencing homelessness. Rotary board member Deb Walter, City of Bethlehem Planning Director and Rotarian Darlene Heller, and Bethlehem Emergency Sheltering Executive Director Bob Rapp will 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 learn 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.
This BoardWalk, along with our homelessness book discussion on September 28, will prepare us to be excellent ambassadors for Bethlehem Emergency Sheltering at our Tastes and Tunes event on October 2.
