President's Message - April 18,2017

Each year we celebrate the success of at least two high school students in our community who exemplify the Rotary characteristics of service above self with a scholarship. We encourage them to continue their lives of service throughout their lives and careers. In order for us to sustainably provide a meaningful difference for these young adults, we are focusing on building up our scholarship fund by our centennial in 2026.

 

To hit the $200,000 to $250,000 mark, we need to add about $10,000 per year. So far we've added about $5000 during this Rotary year. Our balance has gone from $10,000 just a couple years ago to $36,000 today, but we have significant work to do.

 

To bring this effort to focus, we will be having our first scholarship focused "social" fundraiser on May 11th! Join us from 6 PM to 8 PM at Triple Sun Distillery and Yergey Brewery in Emmaus for music, fun, food and spirits. The Sunshine Symphony cover band will be playing from 6:15 PM - 8PM.

 

There will not be a cover charge. Bring your spouse and friends. Between a few special beverages, a 50/50 and a few raffles, let's aim to have fun and raise a few bucks for future Rotarians!
