Trumpet 7/7/2022 (Jul 07, 2022)

Imagine Rotary 2022-2023 Rotary Year

The Rotary International 2022-2023 Theme of “Image Rotary” gives us each the opportunity to think about the potential we see in Rotary and ourselves as Rotarians and beyond.

This Thursday will be our first Club Assembly of the Rotary Year. I encourage you to attend!
We will review our goals for the year and upcoming events on our calendar so we can hit the ground running. I also ask that we all take moment to think about the WHY that drives you to put service above self.
Why did you join Rotary? Why have you stayed? What is your favorite part of Rotary? Do you have a favorite project that inspired you? What’s your passion in service and what project or program can you imagine doing with that spark?

Lets bring our imaginations to the table, and grow the impact Rotary has….together!

See the good. Be the good. Inspire the good in others.

Meghan Reed

2022-2023 President, Emmaus Rotary

Last week's meeting snipits

A huge thank you to all who came out last week. Our new site went quite well. There are always things that change and we will work out little kinks as they appear. Let's put on a good show this week for our District Governor and show him how adaptable our Club is to change.

Let's remember to support Roger, Gary and the entire Centennial Committee in preparations for a really fun 2025 year.

Virtual Meeting Details

As of July 1st. 2022 we will only be doing virtual meetings when we have outside speakers or a special event like Club Assembly or monthly Board Meetings. This is dependent on someone being available to do this. General meetings will be recorded and posted to our YouTube account as time allows.

The virtual meeting should be started by 7:15a.m. Feel free to chat with your virtual friends and the members in attendance. Please mute yourself when the President starts the meeting. Use the Chat feature to chat with the Zoom Master and others on the virtual meeting. We'll do our best to give you the same feel of the meeting as if you were able to attend in person.

Flag Program

It's not to late to be part of our Flag fund raising program to support our Feeding Program. You and your neighbors can just go to Flags.EmmausRotary.org and sign up. The program rate is adjusted to the time you sign up. Our goal is 150 flags this year and we are over half way there so far. Door hangers will be available at this weeks meeting. This program can easily grow to 1000 flags. A tiny area in NH has 500+ flags. We can surely beat this.

Thanks for your help and support.

Ukraine Help

Our friends in Ukraine desperately need our help.

ERC Fund Raising 1/16 to12/21

Rotary and BEYOND

Emmaus Rotarians truly do live a lifestyle of Service Above Self!

Many of us help with other organizations to raise funds for great causes. If you wish to mention your outside fund-raising event at Rotary, just put up four Happy Dollars and let us know about what is going on. If I have a website link to your cause I will post it here.

Ex. I support the PA. Perimeter Ride Against Cancer which benefits the American Cancer Society and Dream Come True.

Check out some of the great work our fellow members are doing in our community outside of Rotary and learn how you can support their efforts.

Another great organization helping our community:

Bob Halsey's Keeping Tabs on Us!

Can Tabs For The Miracle League LV / Submitted By Bob Halsey

In 2018 We started collecting the Tabs from all types of cans Soda, Beer, Seltzer, Tuna Fish, Sardines, Soup Cans, Etc. In 2018 we were able to deliver Five Full One Gallon Jugs of Tabs…Last year, 2019 we were able to deliver Three Full One Gallon Jugs of Tabs. So far this year 2020 we now have One Full One Gallon Jugs. I would hope we can again this year, 2020, can fill at least another Five Full One Gallon Jug OR MORE. I turn these into the Miracle League in the Middle of October, right before Halloween. They turn them into the Dupont Children’s Hospital in Wilmington Delaware. Other organizations also collect these Tabs, in total the Hospital has been able sell these for enough Money to pay 75% of the Utilities Cost in their Ronald House, where Families to stay at a very Nominal Cost when their Handicapped Children need to go for Treatment. You can bring Tabs every Thursday to our regular Breakfast Meetings.
