Morning Star Rotarians: I hope everyone enjoyed our recent Joint Meeting with the Rotary Club of Bethlehem. We were able to learn about the fantastic projects of both our clubs, enjoy socializing with our fellow city Rotarians, and hear from the Executive Director of the DaVinci Science Center regarding their plans for the future. As we enter February, I want to let you know about recent club happenings and inform you about the numerous district activities coming up in the next few months.
