The Emmaus Rotary Club had quite a program last Thursday celebrating International Women's Day and honoring two very exceptional women. A huge "thank you" to Alicia Ruiz-Orbin, who hosted the successful celebration, and her committee. (She is pictured immediately below this text.)
Debra Geiger, a Bethlehem Rotary club member, and Jennifer Kunes, one of the founding family members of Lily's Hope, were honored at ERC's First International Women's Day with an award from the Emmaus Rotary and a proclamation from the House of Representatives and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for their outstanding accomplishments. (Geiger is pictured below in the gold jacket, receiving awards from club president Burt Duran and Kunes is in the group photo with family members and her daughter Lily for whom the 501c foundation is named.)
Club member John Chisca also presented Lily's Hope with $601.50 raised recently under the umbrella of the March of Dimes fundraiser and awareness program that John and his wife Deb Chisca have worked for since starting the Ethan and Owen Mightly Miracles Team several years ago.
