There are only 31 squares to go! Please help if you can. Time for you and your friends to get your game on and win some money. You don't need to know anything about football or even watch the game to win. Just purchase the blocks you want, sit back and relax until game day. Blocks are only $56.00 and if we sell out the card we will raise $3500.00 plus to continue our mission of feeding the hungry children in the East Penn area. All the information needed is on the picture below. Reach out to Gary Guthrie who is spearheading this effort at g.guthrieerc@gmail.com See below for how it all works.
ROTARY SUPER BOWL POOL
The Super Bowl board is laid out in a 10 x 10 grid. Each block (square) is purchased.
After each square is purchased, and all names are recorded inside each square, we will randomly select the NFC team representative and the AFC team representative and place those names on two axises of the board. Then we will randomly select and place the number’s zero (0) through nine (9) for both axises of the board. Once this has been completed, the board will be emailed to all participants.
HOW DOES SOMEONE WIN?
EXAMPLE:
Your square is AFC team 0 – NFC team 7
If the score at the end of the 1st quarter is AFC 10 – NFC 7 ( it is the last digit of the score that is used), then you are the winner of the 1st quarter prize. If your square is touching the winning square on the flat side, then you win the bonus prize ($56). In the event that the winning square is along the edge of the board (not allowing for all four sides to be touching other squares) we will go to the opposite side of the board for the bonus winner.
End of quarter matching score will win $200 (Bonus: those squares that touch the winning square on the flat edge will win $56.)
End of Game matching score will win $500 (Bonus: those squares that touch the winning square on the flat edge will win $56.)
Put your Hats/caps on this week. February 10th will be Rotary Hat Day.
Wear your best or craziest hat. Rotary dollars will be available for the following categories. Funniest, Classiest, Most Creative, Warmest, and most Rotarian.

This will be short…a huge thanks to everyone who donated towards the purchase of chess boards [and clocks] for the Emmaus HS chess club/team at last week’s meeting. This random act of kindness for our high school students meant more to me than you will ever know….thank you!
We were presented with an awesome program to help new businesses and existing ones through Rotary. Derrick outlined how the program works and the obstacles faced and conquered by new start-ups. Rick Zayaitz and Mario Cozubbo are working from our Club to move this program forward.
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.
