Jul 01, 2021 PRESIDENT'S GREETING!
Welcome to the new Rotary year! This is an exciting time as we emerge from the challenges of the pandemic and begin to find our footing again. This is the ideal time to go off the beaten path, charter new territories, and take our club to the next level.
 
This is our time to grow membership. Whether we open our minds to new ideas or make small changes to become more inclusive, it is for the good of the club. We can do this together. Are you ready for the challenge? 
 
I look forward to all the good we are going to do globally and in our local community this year as we "Serve to Change Lives." Won't you join me?
 
Best regards,
 
Shawn Bariana
President 2021-22
 
2021-22 SERVE TO CHANGE LIVES
The new Rotary Theme for 2021-22 is SERVE TO CHANGE LIVES
 
The biggest gift we are given is the power to touch a life,
To change, to make a difference in the circle of life.
 
If we can reach out with our hand, heart, and soul,
The Magic will start to happen as the wheel begins to roll.
 
Let's turn the wheel together so all humanity thrives.
We have the power and the magic to Serve to Change Lives.
 
Shekhar Mehta
President, Rotary International

What a great time with our friends at tonight's combined Kickout Party & Changeover Meeting to celebrate President John Oesmann! What a year! Our appreciation goes out to John & Carrie Quinton Oesmann for returning to PA just for this special occasion.
 
We gave a very enthusiastic welcome to our new President Shawn Bariana and look forward to continuing the great new events for this year. 
 
Special thanks to Rod & Sheila Seifert for hosting - especially opening their beautiful home so the festivities were in the air conditioning!

JUL 06, 2021 MSR DUES 
Dues are Due
As the 2021-22 Rotary year begins, we’d like to thank members who have already paid Morning Star Rotary’s 2021-22 full year dues ($200 for July 2021 – June 2022), or the first half dues ($100 for July – December 2021).
 
Two thirds of Morning Star dues collected actually go to Rotary International (dues and fees) and Rotary District 7430 (dues). To be “fair to all concerned”, if you have not yet paid please do so promptly.
 
Dues payment options
Mail a check payable to “Morning Star Rotary” to my attention: Jean Searfoss, MSR Treasurer 1409 Bogie Ave, Wescosville, PA 18106.
 
Or pay online at www.morningstarrotary.org. Use any debit or credit card - you do not need a PayPal account. This gets a little tricky because there’s a specific place for Dues.
 
First log in in at  www.morningstarrotary.org – Member Login near top right. If you forgot your Login Name or password, click that on the Login screen and ClubRunner will send you an email at your email address in the system.
 
Scroll down the home page until you see the “Site Pages” section on the left. In that section, click “Pay Dues Online HERE”.
 
Notes: The PayPal service fee is added so the club receives the full dues amount. You have the option to set up regular payments every six months or once per year.
 
If you need help logging on ClubRunner, please contact Val Walk or Jean Searfoss.
 
Thanks!
