President's Message 12-17-18

A huge THANK YOU! to all for attending our club meeting this past week. Dr Chris Borick provided an important overview of the many issues facing our Lehigh Valley community.

A copy of the Reflections Paper is being made available to all MSR members.

The next step in the process, please complete the Grant Survey, sent out over the weekend by Susan Burnett. We truly want to know what you think!

Upon behalf of the MSR Board, I am pleased to share, that as a result of our two fundraising events this fall, $4,000 will be awarded to Special Olympics and $14,000 will be award to Victory House. Another big THANK YOU! to all that made the events successful.

Lastly, it's time for FUN! We look forward to our annual Holiday meeting with merriment and song. Invite your family & friends to join us this Thursday December 20, 2019. Then we will gather on Saturday, January 5, 2019 around 5:30pm at Mike & Teri Long's home.

Yours in Rotary Service,

Rotarian Jim Williams

The Williams Family Bequest

Rotarian Jim Williams passed away on November 17, 2018. Though Jim was no longer officially a member of Morning Star Rotary, he still considered himself a Rotarian. What a statement about our organization. In memory of Jim, his brother Art Williams and sister-in-law Sandra C Williams have donated $1,000 to the Bethlehem Morning Star Club Charitable Organization. There surely are many fond memories of Jim. We are so grateful for this donation. At this week's meeting, there will be a Thank You card for all to sign. Please look for Val to add your words of appreciation and greetings to the card.
