LAST WEEK:
We closed a successful Rotary year under the leadership of President Debra Walter. She provided a meaningful review of the highlights of the year 2021-2022. These included launching Board Walks, a Rotary Book Club, and Task Forces reviewing finances and board/committee structure. We offer deepest thanks to her for her dedication to the Club and her insightful and creative leadership during a second full year of the pandemic. Immediate Past President Deb will continue as an officer of the Club and will chair our major fundraiser for the year, Taste and Tunes (October 2).
As incoming president, I made use of the opportunity to thank retired Rotarians Bob and Madeline Brown for their 2013 invitation to attend a lunch meeting of the Rotary Club of Bethlehem. I am looking forward to a terrific year with the theme “Imagine Rotary” presented by RI President Jennifer Jones. We are joyfully facing the challenges of transitioning out of a ravaging pandemic and maintaining our excellence as a service organization. The election result for the 2022-2023 board is shown below. At our first board meeting on July 3rd, Past President Pete Mickolay was elected as Parliamentarian, a non-voting member of the board.
