President's Message
 
Hello Emmaus Rotary,
 
Thank you to all those who were able to attend the Club Assembly last week.  It was fun to see and hear the reactions of our members as we presented some information never shared before at a general meeting.  I appreciate the comments and look forward in helping to continue to make your experience at Emmaus Rotary Club as rewarding as possible.
 
The heart of Rotary is about helping others.  This weeks program is just that.  Preparing Rwandan Educators to deliver meaningful learning experiences.  If you want to see how far Rotary reaches, this is a great week to come to our meeting.
 
Hope to see you all Thursday along with a Guest!!!  :)
 
Yours in Rotary,

Rwanda in the Rotarian this week
Sometimes you just get lucky and this week is my week, I guess.  Bill Whipple is our program presenter this week and he is with the Teach Rwanda organization.  Coincidentally, there are two articles in the Rotarian this month about the horrible genocide that happened in Rwanda in 1994 and how Rotary has helped the country and its people recover...give the articles a read beginning on p. 26.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EMMAUS ROTARY!
 
Here's to ringing in the new year and decade with a real Rotary Bang!!!  I look forward to leading our club for the second half of my Presidential Term in the beginning of 2020.  January is Rotary Awareness Month!  There so much to be aware of on what is involved with Rotary.  What is your elevator speech?
 
This Thursday is our Club Assembly.  This is a great meeting to air it all out as we will be having an open forum.  Bring your thoughts and ideas and together we will move mountains in Rotary!
 
See you all Thursday!

Bad Boys Win!
The people have spoken! The students of Willow Lane Elementary School enjoyed our creative Rotary gingerbread houses.
Over 300 ballots were cast and the winning team with over 100 votes is......The Bad Boys!
Yup our resident “bad boys” Rory, Woody, Wilmer, Dale and Mario stole the show with their precision and expert craftsmanship!But we would expect nothing less from these fellas.  each of The Bad Boys will enjoy a gift card to South Mountain Cycle & Cafe.

A big thank you to all of our club members for allowing the Fellowship Committee to shake things up a bit and get us into the holiday spirit together. We hope you all enjoyed making some new memories together and spreading good cheer to one another with your seasons greetings cards.

Cheers to a wonderful year of Rotary. Happy Holidays from the Fellowship Committee!

Hello Emmaus Rotary,
 
By now I am sure everyone is done with their Holiday shopping and are fully ready for some egg nog and happy spirits.  It is a crazy time of year, however make sure you reflect on what is important.  With all the running around, parties, shopping, work, etc etc etc, it is easy to forget to take some time for yourself and appreciate your family and friends.
 
On January 2, 2020 from 3:00 - 5:00 PM Emmaus Rotary Members have the opportunity to help our Interact Students give back to the community.  We will be helping our Interact Students un-decorate The Trexler Family House at 1309 W Minor Street in Emmaus.  
 
The host parents, Greg and Laura Trexler decorate their house every year and collect donations they give in turn to Angel 34 Foundation, an effort to fight Pediatric Cancer.  They are both East Penn School Teachers.  Greg is an emotional support therapist.  The Interact Students have identified this as service they would like to assist in and are asking our help.
 
Pizza will be provided towards the end of the breakdown for anyone who participates.  Look out for sign up sheets at this Thursday's Meeting.  We are hoping for a great turnout from our Club Members.
 
Thursday's meeting will spark up your Holiday Spirit as we have a very special program scheduled with the Emmaus High School Chorale.  If there is a meeting you do not want to miss, it is Thursdays.  They will knock your socks off!
 
Here are some special notes to be aware of:
 
1) There will be a Board Meeting immediately following Thursday's Meeting
2) There is no regular meeting Thursday December 26th and January 2nd.
3) Our next regular meeting is Thursday January 9th at Brookside.
4) Brookside will be closed January 30 and February 6.  Keep your eyes on the Trumpet on the venue and times for those meetings.
 
Here is this month's Board of Directors Meeting Agenda
 
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOURS!
