Happy February Emmaus Rotary!!!!
February is Rotary's Peace and Conflict Resolution Month.....
As I sit here and write this message on a balmy 60 Degree early February day, I wonder what the world would be like if EVERYTHING was at PEACE!!
Take a moment and think about that!

Hello Emmaus Rotary,
This Thursday Morning 7:30 AM at The Gather on Chestnut Street in Shimerville is our last meeting for January. January is Rotary Awareness Month! I really like the above quote from Paul Harris, our Founder. Read it because it means so much. Bring a guest this Thursday! Bring a guest that understands Goodwill and Service Above Self!!!
We had a very productive Board Meeting last Thursday. I'm proud of what we are accomplishing on so many levels. I love the word Transparency and I'm happy and proud to report the leaders of your club are doing just that! We are continually diving in and working progressively to create a more organized and efficient culture. The goal is this will allow us to advance forward and not lose any ground year after year as the Leadership of our club is liquid. Please keep giving your feedback and suggestions as this is helping us uncover what needs attention.
I have a surprise for Thursday's meeting. I will be announcing another new Committee!!! I have definitely abused my Presidential Power to form new committees so far and I don't see an end to that anytime soon!
Thanks for everything every Member is being a part of. Our Club is super busy and it is all because of you!!
See you Thursday!

Good Day Emmaus Rotary!!
Immediately following the regular meeting this Thursday, January 23, 2020 we will have a Board of Directors Meeting. We have a lot to review this week with one major issue needing finalization regarding the breakfast cost increase at Brookside Country Club.
ALL Committee Chairs are recommended to attend to give an overview to the Board. This is important to keep the synergy of our Club running as smooth as possible.
ALL Emmaus Rotarians are welcome to attend our Board of Director Meetings as well. Remember, this is counted as a make up.
Hope to see you all tomorrow for another great meeting. Below is our planned BOD Agenda.

- How I dealt with all the fears associated with organ donation
- My journey through the legal and procedural issues that plagues Organ Donation around the world
- Speaking about concerns that only first-hand interactions with a living donor can help address.
