ERC History Highlight
Did You Know...
For many years, attendance rules were tough and strictly enforced. If one missed four consecutive weekly meetings of the club, and didn’t make up somewhere else, you were out.
Also, if your attendance was less than sixty percent during either the first or second six-month period in the calendar year, you were also out.
Ah, how times have changed.

To celebrate our Centennial, Emmaus Rotary will have a float in the Halloween parade on Saturday October 18th in the evening. This will be a fun way to advertise our club. Please mark your calendars and join us! The more the better. We will have float riders, walkers and folks who both walk and ride. More information to come!
