THIS WEEK'S SPEAKER
SALUTE THE TROOPS CONCERT

Dear Rotarians,

LAST CALL FOR PROGRAM BOOK

The deadline has officially passed for submitting an ad or a tribute for our club's Salute the Troops program book.  Thank you to those who have responded and helped make this component of our fundraising event to benefit Victory House successful.  But we can still do better…

Special gratitude is extended for those who helped to secure these sponsorships:  Hof & Reid, LLC - Event Sponsor, Messer Gases - Musician Sponsor, Embassy Bank & Wright Veterinary - Full Color Sponsors and Saucon Insurance - Patron Sponsor.  These sponsorships directly cover our costs for the event.

Some of you have stated you have made contact but have not yet submitted information, most importantly, the content to be included in the program.  This includes past support from Moravian Village, Connell Funeral Home, Representative Steve Samuelson, Cantelmi Funeral Home, Buckno Lisicky, Bartlet Tree, Flip It, Great Scott Financial, Valley Eye Group and Veteran tributes.  This program really must get this to our printer by Thursday, October 8th.  That means you must send it by EMAIL to me at:  rsantee@ptd.net by Wednesday, October 7th.  Payment may be mailed to Rick Santee's office at 44 W. Broad Street, Suite 210, Bethlehem, PA 18018 -  ASAP.  

Tickets for the concert have been distributed to all active club members (local).  Please do distribute the tickets so that we do have a nice crowd at the concert.  This event is more than a fundraiser - it is a showing of support for all Veterans as well as those being supported by the work of Victory House for Men and Women.

Mark your calendar for Sunday, November 8th to be present for our annual Salute the Troops concert at NorthEast Middle School.

Thank you all,

Mollie and Rick Santee
