Hey Emmaus Rotary!!!!
 
Guess what Thursday is???  Halloween!!!!(Hint, Hint, Hint)
 
Lets get festive!!! According to my sources (Google) Halloween originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year.  People would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.
 
So...... Do you dare to ward off the ghosts at Emmaus Rotary at this Thursday's meeting?  It could be worth some bling dollars to the Sergeant at Arms!!!
 
Have you had a chance to see the updates Valerie Daneen posted on our website www.emmausrotary.org?  Check it out.  She did a great job making it current.  Thanks Valerie for all your hard work this Rotary Year.
 
Also, thank you to the Board of Directors and others who joined in at the ERC Board Meeting last week.  I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, even though we ran a bit over the 1 hour allotted time.  With that said, we are gaining ground on getting things accomplished and gaining the transparency our club deserves.  Thanks for a great meeting.  I look forward to November's Board meeting.  Remember, it counts as a makeup!!
 
Lets have some fun this Thursday!!! See you all then.
