On February 19, 2026 Morning Star Rotary conducted its Annual Meeting which focused on Officer/BOD elections for 2026-27, revisions to our Constitution and By-Laws, and year to date goal updates. The presented slate of officers was approved, including Jennifer Cunningham as President for 2026-27. President Rodney gave a "State of the Club" overview of the yearly activities of the club thanking various people for their contributions to the successful functioning of our organization, especially Jean Searfoss for her many years of dedicated service as Treasurer.
The club's membership trends and financial contributions were discussed, with over $18,000 raised so far this year for The Rotary Foundation Annual Fund, over $12,000 for PolioPlus, and one Major Gift. President-Elect Jennifer outlined her plans to improve the club's online presence, attract new members, and increase community service projects. The club's relationships with Bethlehem Emergency Shelter and other organizations were reviewed, with plans to potentially transition to a 12-month program at BES. Fundraising efforts were evaluated, with a focus on shifting to more public-facing events like the 5K Race and Salute the Troops Concert. There was discussion of future initiatives, including leveraging partnerships with Celtic Classic and expanding outreach to alumni and Past Presidents.
