The club was treated to a very interesting classification talk by Ashley Lorah last week. She told us about growing up in Upper Macungie Township and graduating from Parkland HS while living with two amazing parents and an older sister who is a Spanish translator now living in Lancaster with her husband, Bill. She was very involved in sports at all ages growing up including volleyball in high school and then as a club activity in college. She studied Exercise Science in college at Ashland University then went to Ohio State University to study Sport Management and worked as a Graduate Assistant in Recreational Sports at OSU.
She now works as the Emmaus Main Street Manager, East Penn, Western Lehigh and Southern Lehigh Chamber Liaison
where she gets to meet many different people through her job where she helps host events like luncheons, fundraisers, mixers, tours, festivals, ribbon cuttings, and more and has found an outlet for philanthropy in different seasons of her life: Ronald McDonald House, Pelotonia, and now Rotary! She ended by telling us that she is riding 100 miles during the first week in August to help raise money for cancer research which we as members may want to support.
Be sure to chat with Ashley the next time you see her...a very interesting new member!
