President's Message, July 26, 2016

SERVING HUMANITY again! Thank you to the Rotarians who were able to help clean up the Emmaus Remembrance Garden this past weekend.  The garden is a beautiful location in Emmaus that "offers a place to honor those we love, those we have lost, or to create a memento of a person, time or place" (https://www.emmausremembers.org/).  There is even a section of bricks dedicated to past Rotarians.

 

One of the challenge for the year was to set up a monthly social hour.  Ceil & Nancy have done just that by scheduling our first event for Wednesday August 3rd at the House and Barn in Emmaus from 5:30 PM - 7 PM.  The event is open to spouses and guests.  These events are purely designed to build goodwill and better friendships.  We will be looking to change venues each month to get a taste of what our community has to offer.  There will be some appetizers provided, but beverages will be at your own expense. Though we want to have fun we still need to be prudent that our funds go to serve humanity.    

 

Over half of the club answered the "Committee Survey".  Thank you! If you did not, Members, please click this link to answer, and let us know how you'd like to be involved.  This will allow us to make sure you are happy with your roles, plugged in how you'd like to be and overall be even more organized as a club. 

 

Note, this Thursday is the Emmaus Rotary Board Meeting immediately following our regularly stated meeting.  Members are welcome to sit in.
