Hello Friends! 

ERC is certainly in full swing here in the midst of "Make a Difference Month".  I know we are throwing a lot at you, but we are knocking it out of the park with Community Service.  After all this is WHY we are Rotarians isn't it? We signed up to make a difference in the community, right?  We don't like to sit on bench and watch!  I see the work our super active members are putting in! It does not go unnoticed, and I THANK YOU for showing up and making ERC shine! 

Earlier this month we assisted the Wildlands Conservancy in planted 60 trees at Emmaus Community Park to help the riparian buffer area. Shout out to Mike Waddell, Gary Gutherie, Karen Hobson (and my husband Len) for rolling up their sleeves to dig in.  

 

This past weekend Karen Hobson, Diane Graham, Joe Pugliese and Don Blose were angels in the outfield at the Mircale League Baseball Game. They helped the players round the bases, hit, pitch and cheer! A day well spent and a day each of those kids will remember!  
 
 
Now who else is up to bat? We have a lot more in the lineup and it your chance be team players. Maybe you're reading this and haven't made it to a meeting in a while and want to get back in the swing of things. This is your chance to include your family or a good friend and make some meaningful memories together in service above self! OK that's your pep talk for the day! SO what are you waiting for?! Sign up with Karen and Nicole to help with the following we want to count YOU in!
