President's Message 5-07-19
So much going on in our Morning Star Rotary world!!  
 
Twenty-Three Rotarians from Saucon/Center Valley Club and Morning Star shared fellowship last week at our First Thursday Rotary Means Business meeting at Artisan Wine & Cheese Bar.  
 
Eleven of us participated in the District Conference this past weekend in Allentown.  It was an inspiring event - great speakers, informative learning and fantastic music at Miller Symphony Hall with Craig Thatcher Band.  
 
We will gather together with Charlotte & family this Wednesday afternoon at Moravian Village to remember our friend Tore.  Visit with the family beginning at 1:30 pm, followed by a service at 2:30 pm.  
 
A memorial service will be held on June 1, 2019 at 11:00am for Ron Helmuth at First Presbyterian Church.
 
All of these events bring home to me the notion of how connected we all are in Rotary and I am grateful and humbled by those that give so much to make it all happen.  
 
Yours in Rotary Service,
Plan-it Janet
