Eckert Service and Philanthropy Award from Millersville University. For Rick’s contributions to the community he also received the Central Penn Business Journal’s 2016 Spirit of Philanthropy Award and was named one of Susquehanna Style’s 2017 Men of Style.
Since 2010, Rick has been a regular guest on television programs nationwide. Producers and hosts alike have praised Rick for his sharp wit and expert commentary on retirement planning and tax strategy.
He is the author of the book Don’t Retire Broke: An Indispensable Guide to Tax-Efficient Retirement Planning and Financial Freedom, where he offers expert advice on how to navigate complex tax issues using clear language and real-life examples.
A committed Christian, Rick was a field representative for Larry Burkett’s Christian Financial Concepts (now known as Crown Financial Ministries).

Program Committee Meeting
The Program Committee will be meeting at 11:30 on Wednesday, December 5th. Please share your ideas for future programs with any member of the program committee.
RYLA Presentation
Terry Radcliffe introduced Nathaniel Bamford, a student from McCaskey, that the RCL sent to the four and one-day Rotary event for rising seniors. Ben is the son of Ben Bamford and grandson of Past President Tom Bamford.
Our Club sent students from McCaskey, Lancaster Country Day and Lancaster Catholic. Nathaniel won a leadership award given by his peers and told the Club that this was a life-changing event for him and his fellow participants.
Each year the report is the same from the RYLA students. “Life changing, made lifelong friends, learned so much and so much about me.” We as a Club should be proud to send these young people to such an opportunity. This event “plants” that seed of Rotary and shows these kids what we’re about.
This editor believes it is the single most rewarding and best “bang for the buck” thing that we do for Rotary, creating future Rotarians, and is the epitome of “Creating Good Will and Better Friendships.”
