Here is President Rob's weekly newsletter for the next two weeks. (Your humble editor and spouse are away celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary year.)
Greetings Fellow Rotarians:
Just a reminder that the Changeover Meeting is June 24th and in preparation for it I am asking for a little help from you. If you have pictures, news articles or video from any Rotary project or event this year, July 1, 2014 through now, please forward to Paul Ricciardi at paul@goldenpepper.com Thanks!!
On Wednesday Markus Hege gave his classification talk which was enjoyed by all. Markus told us of how Rotary helped in furthering his education at Lehigh University leading to his eventual employment with Bosch Rexroth. Thank you for an excellent presentation.
THE ROTARY FOUNDATION: Foundation Chair George Mowrer will give us a final report on June 3rd as we complete our annual campaign. I thank every member who has donated and encourage those that have not to consider making a contribution. One of our goals is to have our club be at the 100% level of member support. It would be impressive for a larger club as ours to be able to accomplish this goal and certainly would jumpstart PE Mike’s upcoming year. Rotary International projects change lives throughout the world. There is no minimum amount. To find out more, go to www.rotary.org and click on the tab marked The Rotary Foundation.
CLUB SERVICE ASSIGNMENTS: July 1 starts a new Rotary year and Committee assignments are in process so please give some thought to areas of club service for next year. Every member will be asked to select at least one committee. Go to www.bethlehemrotary.org for the complete committee list.
JUNE 1 ROTARY GOLF TOURNAMENT: Join in the fun and fellowship by attending the summer outing at Silver Creek Country Club. New this year is our partnership with the Bethlehem Area Vocational-Technical School (BAVTS) Bridges Foundation. The foundation provides deserving students of BAVTS the ability and financial support to fulfill career aspirations. A Hole Sign is $150. Show your support while advertising your business or pass on to a prospective sponsor. We also need RAFFLE PRIZES such as gift certificates from your favorite restaurant or store. We need your help this week. Sponsorships are available. Contact Butch Macri @ 610.691.2400.
STRIKE OUT HUNGER NIGHT with the Phillies vs. Dodgers is Wednesday, August 5, 2015 at 7:05p.m. See Gerry or Jill Long for ticket information. This is a great chance to get to a game and meet fellow Rotarians from around the District, sponsor a youngster to attend and help out with this community service project which supports Northeast Ministry, Bethlehem Boys and Girls Club and the Center for Independent Living (S2L) children. Support our Rotary Foundation with the purchase of a ticket. Prices start at $20.
TASTES & TUNES: Our signature event is October 4, 2015 from 4 p.m. -7:30 p.m. at the Hotel Bethlehem. Hold the date for “Good Food. Cool Music. Great Cause”. Chair Thea Phalon, and the Committee are already hard at work planning this years’ event. As was announced, Honorary Chairs are Andy & Carol Scott and the beneficiary of the event is the Bethlehem Boys and Girls Club which is celebrating 85 years of service this year.
