LAST WEEK:
We offer sincere thanks to our Club Treasurer, Bill Rowe, for organizing a very successful Thanksgiving Dinner at Prime Steak House last Thursday. The event was well supported by Rotarians and partners. In addition, guests donated non-perishable food items to the Bethlehem Emergency Sheltering. Well done!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMNTS:
There are two vacancies on the board. We invite members of the Rotary Club of Bethlehem to nominate themselves or each other for the positions of Vice President and Secretary.
President Elect Bill Royer found it necessary to resign his position due to ongoing medical concerns. He is anticipating a complete recovery over time. The Board accepted his resignation with deep regret. The Board continues to benefit from his wisdom.
Vice President Lori Knerr graciously accepted the invitation of the Board to move into the position of President Elect. She will begin her year as President of our club on July 1, 2023. Please join me in expressing our appreciation for her commitment to our Club.

Al Philpotts desires a “sabbatical” from his Rotary assignments. We offer our deepest appreciation to Al for his phenomenal work with all things technology over the past several years. Al embodies the personification of Rotary’s motto, “service above self.” Where do we go from here? For starters, we welcome a volunteer to take on the task of publishing this eBulletin each week and operating the Club’s website.
