If you haven't had the opportunity to get to know one of our newer Rotarians, Wade George, his classification talk last week was a great way to learn about him and what makes him such a great addition to our club. Wade is family man, Phillies Baseball fan, train enthusiast, animal lover, history buff, a Xennial, and is dedicated to making his community a better place. So dedicated he drives 35 minutes to join us for our weekly morning meetings!
Wait. Go Back. Wade is a...Xennial...what is that? According to Wikipedia, "Xennials are the micro-generation of people on the cusp of the Generation X and Millennial demographic cohorts, typically born in the late 1970s to early 1980s. Xennials are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood." As a highschool graduate of the year 2000, Wade appreciates the fact that he grew up knowing how to use rotary phone but has also had the advantages of being a part of a tech savvy generation. (Hence his joke about flying drones with his kids.) Speaking of high school, Wade met his wife Cheryl in 11th Grade Homeroom and these high school sweethearts have been together ever since.
While Wade may enjoy the digital age, he has a soft spot for history and in particular a passion for locomotives that stems from his Grandfather and Uncle, and he now enjoys this hobby with his two boys Wesley and Graham. When Wade was just 12 he joined the National Railroad Society becoming his chapter's youngest member. Wade has enjoyed participating in railroad re-enactments and gave locomotive tours while attaining his Bachelor's in History from Penn State Abington.

Wade loves helping people. Did you know that he is a Licensed Public Adjuster? (and darn good at it) What is a licensed public adjuster you ask? Public Insurance Adjusters represent home, business or other property owners who have suffered a loss and have submitted a claim to their insurance company. They are advocates to the public and represent you. Wade is very passionate about his work and truly cares for the best interest of his clients at Alliance Adjustment Group. Wade was recently given the opportunity to open an Alliance Adjustment Group Office in Emmaus to support the Lehigh Valley Area in addition to the Bucks and Montgomery Counties and surrounding PA/NJ areas he serves. Through his experience in water, fire, storm damage and other types of home restoration clean up, Wade is able to be an expert in making sure his clients are treated fairly during an often difficult time in their lives.
Welcome to Rotary Wade. We sure are proud to have you in The Emmaus Rotary Club!
