On Thursday October 18, 2018, Emmaus Rotary induced 3 new members and honored six others for perfect attendance. Past president and chair of the membership committee J P Raynock was director of ceremonies and he began the ceremony with group singing.
New members are Mike Zambelli (J P Raynock sponsor), Joe Parks (Sal Verrastro sponsor) and Meghan Reed (Eric Loch sponsor).
Perfect attendance honorees included Alicia Ruiz-Orbin (1 year), Rick Zayaitz (1 year), Cindy Hornaman (2 years), Burt Duren (5 years), Dale Dries (46 years !) and Wilmer Schultz (66 years!!)
Schultz joined Rotary 2 weeks after Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne. That year 53,000 new cases of polio were recorded.
Dries, our Sergeant at Arms Emeritius, is a second generation Rotarian in his family.
