- Thanks to all who worked at or attended the Bethlehem Rotary Club's Yard Sale on Saturday, September 19th! Final tallies TBA; special thanks to Justin Strasser, who took our Rotary Exchange Student, Jinnie and his daughters! …and to Cheryl Baker, who hooked Diane Donaher up with the Fine Arts Commission to assess some of the donated art. They pulled some higher-value items for a separate online auction.
- Larry Eighmy, who owns the Flatiron Building, where we hold our weekly meetings, shared that a major redevelopment or expansion could come within the next several years due to zoning and market changes; he committed to keeping the club updated as plans move forward.
