Jay Geiger has arranged for Dr. Brian Mello, Assoc. Prof at Muhlenberg for 4/13 to speak about Turkey and the Mid-East. Jay says he’s sat in on Mello’s classes and found him interesting. Here is some background info on Dr. Mello:
Dr. Mello’s areas of study include comparative politics, international relations, political theory, and the politics of social movements. Dr. Mello’s research focuses generally on politics in Europe and in the Middle East, and in particular on Turkish politics. Dr. Mello is currently working on a research project that applies insights from feminist IR theory to explore changing public support for US military intervention against the Islamic State. His past research examined such subjects as the impact of labor movement activism in Turkey, Great Britain, the United States and Japan; international norms of women’s rights as human rights; the affect of civil-military relations on Islamic politics in Turkey; the causes and consequences of the Arab Spring; and ways to understand the symbolic meaning of Islamic State violence.

Pennsylvania has initiated the largest single expansion of legalized gambling in U.S. history. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, which has provided strict oversight of the Commonwealth’s casino industry, will be working during 2018 to rollout and regulate these new initiatives such as internet gambling, video gaming terminals at truck stops, and additional casinos. How do these games operate and when will they be available? Also, what has been the success to date of our commercial casino industry, now the second largest in the United States? We are available to make a presentation to your Rotary Club in 2018. This IS NOT a presentation about gambling, but concerns the revenue being produced by gaming, how it impacts every city, town and hamlet in the state, along with providing an overview of our regulatory work that addresses such issues as problem gambling and crime. We have provided talks to over 100 Pennsylvania Rotary Clubs and have been told afterward that it was one of the most informative and interesting discussions they have had in years! We’ll see how it turns out. I guess it’s "a roll of the dice."
Mr. McGarvey, Deputy Director of Communications will accompany PA Commissioner Manderino.

Julie Ogwapat, East Africa Chair for Young African Leaders The Young African Leaders Initiative (commonly referred to as 'YALI") was launched by the U.S. Government as a signature effort to invest in the next generation of African leaders. There are four Regional Leadership Centers across the continent, in Ghana, Senegal, South Africa, and Kenya. These Centers serve as regional hubs to encourage transformational learning and enhancing leadership skills. The YALI Regional Leadership Centers are a project of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in close partnership with the MasterCard Foundation. Each Center is managed under a public/private partnership. The YALI Regional Leadership Center East Africa, located at Kenyatta University in Nairobi, serves 14 countries in East and Central Africa. The Center is overseen by Deloitte East Africa and is supported by a growing number of African and international public and private partners. The YALI Regional Leadership Center East Africa is more than a location for learning or a venue for collaboration; it is a philosophy, a forward-leaning culture of diversity that invites dreaming and thinking differently to define and realize one’s potential. Selected participants will engage in leadership training across three tracks of study: (1) Business and Entrepreneurship, (2) Civic Leadership, and (3) Public Management in a 4-week residential format with a focus on individual and team leadership skills, innovation, creative learning, and communication. The program's emphasis is on interactive and experiential learning which fosters each participant's ability to contribute both individually and in teams.

Bring your spouse, your children, your grandkids, your neighbors. Join us for a fun evening of Rotary fellowship, miniature golf and ice cream.
We'll start the evening by choosing from two courses at Putt-U in Center Valley, Rt 309. The Blue Course is challenging with all the elements of nature: water, sand, stone - actually lots of water. The Red Course has a unique layout with several par 5 holes.
After golf we'll gather for ice cream to compare scores and trades exaggerations about our golf skills. There is Leiby's ice cream right at Putt-U and the Inside Scoop in Coopersburg for a more varied menu of iced concessions. Based on the smiles we generated at the Udder Bar earlier this year, we're expecting a big turn out for summer golf AND some more delicious ice cream. Please register at the link below. If you plan to bring guests, let us know in the comment section.
We will each pay our own way ($5.00 for golf) plus the cost of ice cream.

Area residents fondly remember getting tangled up in the Maypole dance or racing against each other in the 50 yard dash. Many Romper Day alumni come back to watch their own children or grandchildren play games and dance at the annual event! |

Diane Scott / Diane Wittry; Chair - Ibi Balog Invocator - Barb Bigelow On August 17, 2018 the Rotary program speakers will be Diane Wittry Music Director and Diane Scott Interim Executive Director of the Allentown Symphony Association, who will give an update on new developments at the organization.
MISSION
The mission of the Allentown Symphony Association is to provide a first-class symphony orchestra and Hall, quality performing arts, and cultural education in partnership with the community.
HISTORY
ALLENTOWN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
With passion and finesse, the Allentown Symphony with Music Director & Conductor, Diane Wittry, plays time-honored masterworks, newly commissioned world premieres, and unusual and intriguing repertoire, including works by prominent new composers. Each year, the ASO performs more than 20 classical, pops, educational, and family concerts. In 2014, the orchestra received the national American Prize for “orchestral excellence.”
Exciting world-class artists that have performed with the ASO include Midori, Emanuel Ax, Richard Stoltzman, Garrick Ohlsson, Angela Meade, and Peter Serkin, as well as jazz trumpeter Byron Stripling, saxophonist Branford Marsalis, and Broadway vocalist Christiane Noll. The orchestra’s classical trained musicians include players from the major urban centers of New York, Baltimore-D.C., and Philadelphia.
The ASO has received music commissioning grants from the National Endowment of the Arts, and from the League of American Orchestras in support of its El Sistema-inspired program for at-risk youth. The Symphony Association also annually hosts the National Schadt String Competition which attracts top young performers from all over the world.
Music Director Diane Wittry, a California native who has worked with Michael Tilson Thomas among others, is known for her innovating programming style, using video, dancers, subtitles and other visuals that give her concerts a sense of occasion. She has been a stellar advocate for music education outreach for all ages and skill levels. Lehigh Valley native Ron Demkee serves as the Symphony’s Associate Conductor, directing the Pops Series. The two previous ASO conductors were Donald Voorhees, the distinguished conductor of the studio orchestra for NBC’s Emmy-award-winning The Bell Telephone Hour and William Smith, assistant Conductor to the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy.
Presenting exciting concerts for all, the Allentown Symphony is only one of a handful of American orchestras to own its own acoustically superb concert hall, Miller Symphony Hall. As it has for the last 65 years, the Allentown Symphony will continue its pursuit of excellence with passion, keeping alive the legacy of masterworks while bringing the works of modern masters to the concert stage for you and all of the community.
MILLER SYMPHONY HALL One of Pennsylvania's Most Beautiful Concert Halls Serving as a cultural destination for the greater Lehigh Valley and beyond, Miller Symphony Hall is the Lehigh Valley’s premier Performing Arts Center. It began its life in the 1800s as a large, three-story central marketplace. The building was converted to a theatre in 1899 by the renowned architect J.B. McElfatrick and renamed the Lyric. Today it is one of only a dozen of 200 McElfatrick prized ‘beaux arts’ theatres that have survived. Once the home of vaudeville, burlesque and Broadway-bound theatricals, its stage has showcased the comedy of Bob Hope, George Burns and Gracie Allen, the magical voices of Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett and Placido Domingo, the stirring marches of the Allentown Band and the musical perfection of the Allentown Symphony Orchestra. In 1953, with the help of Call-Chronicle newpaper owners Sam and Donald Miller, the Lyric was purchased by the Allentown Symphony Association (established in 1951) as a permanent home for its symphony orchestra, and re-christened Symphony Hall. Since 1990, $12 million has been raised by the Allentown Symphony Association from public and private sources to improve the Hall and turn it into the leading performance venue it is today. Renovations to this historic theatre continue to this day with more plans for future projects. Most recently, the Balcony Level was refurbished with wider, cushioned seating so patrons can better enjoy its superb acoustics. Recently renamed Miller Symphony Hall in honor of the family who saved it and who continue to support it today, the Hall has helped catalyze the redevelopment of Allentown’s urban core. As a fully-fledged performing arts center, it serves as a performance space for the Allentown Symphony Orchestra and a range of artistically diverse programs that help create a vibrant community for all of us.

The speaker’s full name for ouir 9/14 meeting is:
We are so excited for the opportunity to speak at your meeting! We believe that our information will greatly empower and encourage the community to take action against human trafficking as it is unfortunately very prevalent in the Lehigh Valley.
Our mission is to, through collaboration, education, and advocacy, empower survivors and encourage the community to take action in the anti-trafficking movement. We officially became a non-profit in 2016 and our main focuses are on empowering and encouraging survivors through our recently developed Outreach Program, which is a referral program in which we help survivors find the appropriate resources that they need and we also provide an outreach worker to assist them through this process. Additionally, we focus on community education and awareness as we believe that by educating the community, we can encourage people to take action and help us fight against trafficking, in the anti-trafficking movement.
Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity to come and speak at your meeting! Our speaker, Tashina Khabbaz is thrilled to be coming and we believe that this presentation will be an impactful and educative experience.
