April 7 – Getting to Know Morning Star Members

April 7 – Getting to Know Morning Star Members

What a nice turnout last Thursday to hear Classification Talks from Alex Shnaydruk and Iryna Levytska of Ukraine (as I learned, NOT “the Ukraine”). In addition to their personal and professional backgrounds, they shared an interesting social studies lesson on their home country! I hope we have as strong a showing this week as we continue to learn about our Morning Star members …

April 10 PROGRAM – MELINDA HOFFNER’S Classification Talk

Melinda is VP of Commercial Lending at the Merchants Bank (of Bangor) office which opened last year in downtown Bethlehem. Melinda says, "My Grandmother would have been a Great Rotarian...That's why I'm here today!" Plus, we are very happy to be inducting Todd Heft of Heft Media.
