President's Message 9-7-16
Posted by Sharon Fontana on Sep 07, 2016
We kicked off our first “First Thursdays @ 5:30” at SteelGaarden at Bethlehem Brew Works on September 1st. It was a great evening of fellowship.
We introduced guests to Rotary and had the opportunity to catch up with our fellow Rotarians in a relaxed setting.
.
Next month First Thursdays @ 5:30 is tentatively scheduled at Blue on the patio on October 6th. Details to follow.
This week’s meeting
The 26th Morning Star Celtic Classic Race is fast approaching on Saturday, September 24th. Jayne Ann M. Recker, Executive Director of the Celtic Cultural Alliance is our speaker this week.
'Bag Stuffing' for Our 26th Anniversary 5K/10K race is on September 15th at our regular meeting.
Race Committee Chair, Wayne Achey, asks all MSR Rotarians to help in getting sponsors and prizes for the race. We still need gift certificates, raffle prizes, etc. A Volunteer Sign-Up sheet will circulate during the meeting for the race itself on Saturday, September 24th. Registration opens at 6:30 am, with the race starting promptly at 8:00 and Awards Ceremony & Raffle Prize Giveaway at 9:30. “All Hands on Deck” - this is open to family, friends, students (community service anyone?) etc. Many people will be needed to ensure the success of this major event. (Even if not signed up in advance, please come to help!) Sponsorship info/form is available in the Downloads section at www.morningstarrotary.org with no sign-in needed. Please reach out to businesses, organizations, friends, family and colleagues.
Motivational Quote of the week:
There are no strangers here; Only friends that you haven’t met yet.
President Sharon, Rotary Serving Humanity
