JAN 18, 2023 JOINT MEETING CELEBRATION

The joint meeting of the Rotary Club of Bethlehem and the Bethlehem Morning Star Rotary Club was held in the Bob Cohen Room at the Bethlehem Area Public Library.

Excellent attendance! High energy! Wonderful Rotary fellowship! Delightful meal! Two clubs under one roof. President Hopeton Clennon

Each club was given ten minutes to talk about service projects for the current year lead by the Club Presidents Rod Seifert and Hopeton Clennon. Special thanks to MSR Sheila Seifert, BRC Deb Walter and Lori Knerr for their effective handling of all the logistics to make this meeting a success. We hope this may be the first of many collaborative efforts for our community.

The keynote speaker was Lin Erickson, Executive Director and CEO of the Da Vinci Science Center. She was both informative and engaging. We had lots of questions about the new Da Vinci Center that will be constructed in the heart of Allentown. Lin made an effective appeal for support. In the words of Al, “Lin is an amazing resource for the Lehigh Valley and showed that last night. She did a great job and was delighted at the large turnout we had.”

2023-24 RI PRESIDENTIAL THEME

Rotary International President-Elect R. Gordon R. McInally revealed the 2023-24 presidential theme, Create Hope in the World, during the International Assembly in Orlando, Florida, USA, 9 January.

PE McInally, a member of the Rotary Club of South Queensferry, West Lothian, Scotland, asked members to restore hope by helping the world heal from destructive conflicts and create lasting change within ourselves.

McInally told attendees he plans to make mental health a focus and emphasized continuity in advancing the goals of previous leaders, including empowering girls and eradicating polio. Read more about the presidential theme
