The Emmaus Rotary would like to spotlight one of our newest member Keith Heffner. The following is a transcript is from Keith himself:
"I was born and raised in the Lehigh Valley. I graduate from Parkland High School and DeSales University.
I started with the Allentown Police Department in 1999 and retired this Past December after a little more than 21 years. I was a patrolman for 10 years and a Sergeant for the last 11. I worked night shift for about 16 of my 21 years. I was also on the Emergency Response Team (SWAT) for 13 years.
I currently live in Zionsville with my wife Nicole, my 15-year-old son, Nick, and my twin 13-year-old daughters Alyssa and Kylie. My wife is a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and works in many of the local jails. My son is on the Emmaus HS fitness team and is a Life Scout in Boy Scouts. He hopes to earn his Eagle Scout in the next year. My daughters play volleyball and basketball on the Eyer Middle School team and play on a Club Volleyball team.
I became a Farmers Insurance Agent because of the great opportunity that they offer to agency owners. I was unsure of what I wanted to do after retirement but came upon the Farmers opportunity to be my own boss. I am excited most to learn a completely new career, including owning my own business. I spent the last 21 years trying to help people and love that I can continue to help people but in a completely different way.
When it comes to the Rotary Club I was introduced to Cindy by a Rotarian from Warminster.
After coming to a few meetings, I knew I wanted to become a member. Everyone in the Emmaus Rotary has been so welcoming which is not a trait you find in every organization.
I am looking forward to meeting everyone, getting to know everyone and helping with the many initiatives the Emmaus Rotary is involved with.
After I finally do retire for good one day, I would like to visit as many of the Caribbean Islands as possible."
Welcome to our Rotary Club Keith!
