Last Thursday, Morning Star 💫 Rotarians Rick Morrissey (a passionate birder) and Geoff Wright, VMD introduced us to the fascinating raptors living in & migrating through the Lehigh Valley including kestrels, bald eagles, hawks, and falcons. Geoff, a veterinarian, is a go-to resource for treating wounded raptors. He operates on anywhere from 6 to 60 injured raptors per year.
Whenever you see a Spotted Lantern Fly - KILL IT!!!!Both Northampton & Lehigh Counties are part of the quarantine areas, so we need to continue to report it. To be helpful, if you travel outside these counties inspect your vehicle so not to have any SLF "hitchhikers" traveling with you. There are really no known predators to these creatures. There are pesticides that work. It is the property owners’ responsibility to use whatever means they can to destroy them and get rid of them.
Kamran Afshar is the Lehigh Valley’s preeminent economist, and a member of our sister club, Bethlehem Rotary.
Kamran has just completed his latest survey of Lehigh Valley businesses, providing a current outlook for the immediate economy. Even more intersting will be his insight into the Lehigh Valley’s directions and growth and what the future bodes for the Lehigh Valley.
Dr. Afshar has presented to our club in the past, though not for a number of years. His outlook is both timely and timeless for anyone engaged in leadership of any kind in our community.
Be sure to come and hear about our Lehigh Valley economic status Thursday, August 23, 2018.
