President's Message - January 16, 2017

Rotarians we need your help over the next few weeks!

 

First, for our Evening meeting at Emmaus High School with the Interact Club on Thursday 1/26 at 6:00 PM.  Please bring to this Thursday's meeting, or to the meeting on 1/26, snacks, toiletries, and gently used clothing.  After meeting our "future Rotarians" and hearing about their endeavors, we will be packaging these items for both the Allentown Rescue Mission and other local families in need. 

 

Note, though dinner has been donated by Mike Lahanas, we will be collecting the normal $15 meal fee  from Rotary members; guests and students will be free. This fee in addition to any other cash donations will go towards Outreach Program food packaging event the following week, Thursday 2/2 at Willow Lane Elementary School cafeteria at 6:00 PM.  We will also collect $15 for the 2/2 event that will go towards increasing the number of meals we can pack.  Dinner will also be donated during that event.  If we get 67 people to attend each meeting that would allow us to pack an additional 8000 meals and reach 20,000 meals for our community. 

 

Both of these meetings will be a great opportunity to serve humanity and build goodwill and better friendships.  The more people we have at the Outreach event, the more meals we can provide and the faster we can package them.  I encourage you to bring your family, a friend, or spouse to assist with the event.
