President's Message
 
Hola desde Sunny, caliente y húmeda Riveria Maya México!!!
 
I am enjoying my vacation in Riveria Maya Mexico with my family and extended family.  We are having a blast and I would say on day 5 I am about completely decompressed.  Rotary International is everywhere!  I was at breakfast yesterday morning and walked by a table and heard the words, "Have you ever heard of Rotary International?  I was an exchange student through this club."  I just smiled and walked past.  Was that a sign?  Either way this incredible organization is all around us and continues to make the world a better place.
 
Best wishes to Ashley Lorah at this week's ERC meeting as she presents her classification talk.  It is always my favorite presentation to attend as I really enjoy getting to know the members and their story.  Sorry I am going to miss it Ashley.  I will be sure to watch the video on YouTube upon my return.
 
I am very proud and honored to be your 2019-2020 ERC President.  The changeover was one of the neatest days I have experienced in a very long time, if not the best of the best.  Congratulations to Rick Zayaitz our Immediate Past President.  Rick was and continues to be an incredible leader in Emmaus Rotary.  I feel blessed to follow his tenure and know we will proceed with his endeavors to make our community and world a better place.  Thank you Rick!
 
Have a great week everyone.  See you all on July 18th for The Club Assembly.  Lots to review and many to honor.  Please do your best to attend this meeting.
 
All the best

2019-2020 ERC President
Food for the Needy This Week

Be sure to bring a canned good to this week's meeting for Rotarian Ralph Lewis' Food for the Needy drive!
We recently heard that 1 in 7 people in the USA is hungry every day. Here in the Lehigh Valley, Second Harvest has figured that it is 1 in 8 people. Better, but many people need our help!

Video Meeting Make-up Guidelines

Emmaus Rotary Club Videos and Meeting Make-Up Guidelines

1.    Emmaus Rotary Club meeting videos are at www.youtube.emmausrotary.org and can be watched at any time.  This is arranged so club members can keep up with what happened at club meetings when they cannot attend. 

2.    Using these videos for Emmaus Rotary Club meeting make-ups:

a.   Any Emmaus Rotary Club meeting video can be viewed during the two weeks prior until two weeks after the meeting you want to make-up.  For example, this week's meeting date was June 27 so to make it up, view any ERC club video but do it between June 13 and July 11.   

b.    Videos can be reported as a make-ups by giving the Club Secretary [Jim Palmquist] a check for $10 and telling him what video you watched.  A credit card payment option will be available soon.

c.  There is no limit on the number of video make-ups that can be used in a Rotary year.

3.  This is a six month pilot program that will be evaluated at the January, 2020 Board meeting to determine if it should be continued, modified, etc.

Dear Rotarians,
 
Come join D7430 Phillies Phans and Strike-Out Hunger at the 35th Annual Game on Thursday, August 15, 2019 at 7:05 pm, as our Phillies play the Chicago Cubs.
 
The success the Phillies have had selling tickets this year has made seating in some sections limited. Because of their commitment to Rotary, there will be plenty of good seats available. I urge you to get your ticket orders in early. Thanks to your participation, the RI Foundation has benefitted by over $1 million to help eradicate Polio, and thousands of pounds of food have been contributed to Local Food Banks.
