BLUE ZONE ACTIVATE
 
At our May 22, 2025 meeting, we welcomed Lauren Geldon, Director of Community Transformation to introduce our members to Blue Zones, an initiative focused on promoting healthy lifestyles through environmental changes. Lauren presented an overview of Blue Zones and their Power 9 habits, explaining Bethlehem's three-year initiative to improve health through various community projects and policy changes. Her presentation prompted questions and discussion from the group regarding the organization, ways to support the Blue Zones project, and explored potential collaborations.
 
The Blue Zones Bethlehem Kick-Off will take place on Saturday, June 7, 2025 from 1:00 to 4:00 PM starting at the Sun Inn Courtyard. See the flyers below for details about the event and information regarding Blue Zones.

YOUTH SERVICES OPPORTUNITIES
Posted by Jennifer Cunningham
 
 
Our Rotary Exchange Student Antek's host family has a full house May 27 - June 1 and thought it'd be a great opportunity for Antek to hang out with another American family. Can anyone welcome Antek to their home for these few days? Please contact Jennifer if interested.
 
 
Camp Neidig's BBQ and end-of-camp show is at the camp in Douglassville on Monday, June 16th at 6:00 PM.  Buy your ticket here
TREES!
Posted by Jennifer Cunningham
 
 
For everyone - even if you can't plant one of the tree saplings that MSR Rotarian Taylor Breinich from Bartlett Tree Experts gifted our members, post a picture on your Facebook page of yourself with your yard's native trees. Make sure you include the tag #MSRTrees and a couple of sentences.
 
***You can also send pictures of your trees (see above) to Rod Seifert and I will post them in our weekly bulletin so everyone can see how they have grown.
 
STEM-YEA - DONATIONS NEEDED
**Message form Jane A. Meckes, Nazareth Rotary, District 7430 STEM-YEA Committee
 
 
Hi Everyone. Our district committee is busy planning for the upcoming STEMYEA program at Kutztown University.  I am on the committee and in charge of gathering materials. I have created two ways that Rotarians in our District can help provide items that are needed. First is an "Amazon Wish List" if you would like to purchase materials that we need. Any items purchased would be sent directly to me. Second is a recycled material list. You can help us out at no cost to you!  All you have to do is save the materials on the list and bring them to a meeting or event anytime. I already have a bin started for the items I have been collecting.
 
Here is the link for the Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/35ZTJILB1ZGV7
 
Anything that you could provide would be gratefully appreciated.
 
 
Message from Rod Seifert:  Donated recycled items can be given to me at any upcoming meeting.  I will be happy to deliver them to Jane.
