We would like to share an unfortunate story with the our Rotary Family concerning a past friend of the ERC. Mr. Alex Zarnas of Emmaus was killed last week in a bicycle accident in Lower Macungie Township. Alex is the brother-in-law of Jillian (Lipinsky) Zarnas, a former faculty advisor at the Emmaus High School who built the Emmaus Rotary's Interact Club into one of the largest High School service groups in District 7430. Jillian was awarded a Paul Harris recognition from ERC for her exceptional work on behalf of Rotary. Jillian reported the following statement to past-president Larry Delhagen who reached out to her after learning of Alex's tragic passing:
“And because you were so kind to ask- Mike and I truly don’t need anything but thoughts and prayers. As for his family, he has three small children who are seven, almost five and almost two. His wife is setting up a fund for the children’s future via the funeral home. There’s absolutely no pressure or obligation or expectation, but should anyone ask you from rotary, contributions may be made in the name of “Amanda K. Zarnas“ to the funeral home below. Thanks Larry”
