Dear Fellow Rotarians-
Do you see what I see?
ROTARY AT A GLANCE - published figures for April 2018
Worldwide there are 1, 230,399 Rotary members in 35,784 clubs.
The average club member is 35.
There are 512,417 Interact students in 22,279 clubs.
An average Interact club has 23 members.
Another measurement for us. Yes, our numbers are above average. Let’s keep going. In a stressful, demanding time, we continue to seek ways to make a difference and to serve others above self.
Emmaus Rotary continues to pack and distribute food bags to East Penn School District students and families facing food insecurity. Speak to Rick Zayaitz or Cindy Hornaman if you can help.
Contact Nicole Steirer or Karen Hobson if you can help plant trees this Sunday morning or if you can be a marshall for the “reverse” Halloween Parade on Saturday night, October 31st.
We are looking for a Rotarian to help coordinate with bereaved families to extend our care and to accompany them when we lay a brick in the deceased Rotarian’s memory at the Emmaus Remembrance Garden. Mike Waddell is our contact as he is a member of the Garden’s Board.
And, please, talk to me if you are uncertain about how or where to plug in as everyone has passions and gifts that can forward our mission. There is a spot for you on a committee.
This Thursday, following our regular meeting at Brookside Country Club and on Vox Tandem, there will be a Board meeting. All interested members are invited and encouraged to come.
And a shout out to the Emmaus Rotary Team which walked this last Saturday, October 17th to raise money for the District’s virtual “Race to Zero” End Polio Now (aka “Purple Pinkie Event”). Thank you to all our sponsors!
Yours in service,
Lexa Shallcross
Emmaus Rotary President 2020-2021
