President of Emmaus Rotary Club for 24 more hours
Over the last year you have probably heard me go on and on about using our handy dandy ClubRunner tools to help keep ERC organized. I'm sure I didn't annoy anyone right?? I'm sure all of my enthusiastic suggestions were well received right???
SOOOOO let's give a shot shall we....
Past District Gov. Bob Hobaugh has asked for a helping hand from ERC Volunteers at Das Awkscht Fescht! What a fantastic way for Emmaus Rotary to get involved with a community tradition, meet lots of folks and show people how fun Rotary is! This is a BIG project for us to be a part of so let's show Bob how ERC comes through!

The giving season is here, and we have exciting news: Your generosity can go twice as far, starting now!
We're thrilled to share that a generous ShelterBox donor is ready to match gifts up to $20,000 for #GivingTuesday, doubling the impact of your contribution.
This #GivingTuesday, your donation can provide crucial aid—shelter, clean water, warmth, and light—to families in need. Every essential item from ShelterBox is a step towards rebuilding shattered lives after a disaster.
Our ambitious goal this year is to raise enough funds to support up to 1,000 families, providing them with the aid and tools they need to stay warm, safe, and together. As winter approaches and temperatures plummet in places like Morocco and Ukraine, more families than ever urgently need your help.
Can we count on you to match your gift and help us reach our $100,000 target?
A heartfelt thank you to a dedicated ShelterBox supporter and Rotarian who has stepped up to match your donations, making it possible to reach even more families in their time of need.

I sadly learned of the passing of Rotarian Thomas Devine over the weekend. Tom joined Rotary in 1998 and served with our Club as an Active and Honorary Rotarian for 25 years.
Many long-time members of Emmaus Rotary are sure to have lots of fond memories of Tom and his Wife Rosenia Devine. While I never had the opportunity to meet Tom in person, he and I did enjoy sending emails and the occasional phone chat. That's the special thing about our Rotary Family; even though we never met in person we shared a bond. Tom was always very encouraging and kind to me in my leadership roles. Over the years I have heard many members share messages and updates from Tom at Club meeting. This always made it clear to me that Tom was a tremendous Person who our members hold in high regard and have missed his since his health prevented him from attending Rotary Functions.
I travelled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way"
