President's Message - April 18,2017
Each year we celebrate the success of at least two high school students in our community who exemplify the Rotary characteristics of service above self with a scholarship. We encourage them to continue their lives of service throughout their lives and careers. In order for us to sustainably provide a meaningful difference for these young adults, we are focusing on building up our scholarship fund by our centennial in 2026.
 
To hit the $200,000 to $250,000 mark, we need to add about $10,000 per year. So far we've added about $5000 during this Rotary year. Our balance has gone from $10,000 just a couple years ago to $36,000 today, but we have significant work to do.
 
To bring this effort to focus, we will be having our first scholarship focused "social" fundraiser on May 11th! Join us from 6 PM to 8 PM at Triple Sun Distillery and Yergey Brewery in Emmaus for music, fun, food and spirits. The Sunshine Symphony cover band will be playing from 6:15 PM - 8PM.
 
There will not be a cover charge. Bring your spouse and friends. Between a few special beverages, a 50/50 and a few raffles, let's aim to have fun and raise a few bucks for future Rotarians!
President's Quarterly Assembly
Jeff's presentation was a compilation of where we were and where we are headed.  He described the community projects from boxing and delivering 20,000 meals to the wonderful mixers Ceil and Nancy have been sponsoring for our club. 
-House Barn, Alburtis Tavern, Phantoms,
LCTI, Interact Meeting, Superior…

Triple Sun & Yergey’s, Recognition Dinner
His next challenge was to revamp the membership process and with the help of JP and his committee the task was completed with JP and his team coming up with an incentive plan to gain new members.
Jeff's next challenge was to create a fund raiser to help sustain the scholarship fund which will start with a mixer at Yergey's next month.
 
He surprised us all with the annual donation to the foundation which this year we exceeded our goals by more than 100% with the help of some of our club members and grants from the Rotary foundation.
 
All in all Jeff has met most of his lofty goals he set out to meet at the beginning of his Presidency.  He still would like to see everyone give to EREY and make that magic number of $126.50 for every member.
 
 
 
Please take a moment and thank Jeff for a great year as President!
