As part of our tradition, new members are invited to share their story with the club. Formerly known as the “classification talk,” this is a chance for us to get to know new members better. Their stories are an essential part of our club’s tapestry, and sharing it helps us understand your journey, passions, and the unique perspectives you bring to our community. We believe that every member’s story enriches our collective experience and strengthens the bonds between us. Hearing their insights and experiences will inspire and connect us, fostering a deeper sense of fellowship and collaboration.
A recently inducted member of Morning Star Rotary, Mike Orbin, who transferred to MSR from the Allentown Rotary Club, told "His Story" at our February 20, 2025 meeting. Mike has been a Rotarian since September, 2018. Prior to his retirement, Mike was a Principal Business Intelligence Senior Analyst with LSI Corporation (a Broadcom Company) formerly Lucent Technologies. He spoke about his background, family, education, career, and his "Rotary Story". Mike highlighted his Rotary experiences including being instrumental in the formation of the STEM-YEA program in our district along with involvement with International Projects in Mexico, Zambia, and Cambodia. Mike's Rotary Moment happened on a trip to Cambodia in 2020. That experience made him aware that Sustainable Cambodia was the project he wanted to support and be involved long-term. We are thrilled to have Mike as part of our Morning Star Rotary family. Click Here to view Mike's presentation.
