Meeting at Chestnut Ridge at Rodale
JAN 29, FEB 5 and Feb 12
We are so excited to announce that Chestnut Ridge at Rodale will be hosting our meetings for three weeks when Brookside is closed. Chestnut Ridge will provide hot and cold breakfast items, complementary in their lovely facility. This is a great opportunity for us to pass on their generosity by decreasing the cost of breakfast while also raising money. We highly recommend a $15 (or more donation) for breakfast.
Also, look out for new-comers the second two weeks. Chestnut Ridge will invite 10 to 15 of their residents to the meeting.

Tours of Chestnut ridge will be offered after each meeting.

January 29: A representative of Phoebe will be our speaker and donations will go towards Camp Neidig and STEM YEA
 
February 5: Our speaker will be Chris Kocher from Wildlands Conservancy and donations will go towards our EHS Scholarship fund 
 
February 12: Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum will speak and funds will go to the Rotary International Foundation
