Our lunch meeting this week featured a presentation from Alan Jennings, the Executive Director of the Community Action Committee of the Lehigh Valley (CACLV). As always, Alan’s message was thought provoking. His perspectives certainly make us think about poverty in our neighborhoods in a very different way. Creating an environment for success, as opposed to enabling, is a cornerstone of his approach, and that mantra is interwoven into the many programs administered under the umbrella of CACLV. Thank you, Alan, and we look forward to your next visit with us!
At our meeting, we announced that Patrick Morgan was voted by the Board to fill the open Board position vacated by Brennan Pursell, who has stepped down from the Board as a result of other commitments. Thank you, Patrick for agreeing to step up!
This is the last reminder that the grant application deadline for the Bethlehem Rotary Foundation is October 31st! Remember that we have more money to distribute this year as a result of the allocation of the Tastes & Tunes proceeds. We need your help to find those organizations that can benefit from distributions from our foundation!
