Sep 07 Morning Star Rotary Bulletin (Sep 07, 2016)

Posted by Sharon Fontana on Sep 07, 2016

We kicked off our first “First Thursdays @ 5:30” at SteelGaarden at Bethlehem Brew Works on September 1^st. It was a great evening of fellowship.

We introduced guests to Rotary and had the opportunity to catch up with our fellow Rotarians in a relaxed setting.

Next month First Thursdays @ 5:30 is tentatively scheduled at Blue on the patio on October 6^th. Details to follow.

This week’s meeting

The 26th Morning Star Celtic Classic Race is fast approaching on Saturday, September 24^th. Jayne Ann M. Recker, Executive Director of the Celtic Cultural Alliance is our speaker this week.

'Bag Stuffing' for Our 26^th Anniversary 5K/10K race is on September 15^th at our regular meeting.

Race Committee Chair, Wayne Achey, asks all MSR Rotarians to help in getting sponsors and prizes for the race. We still need gift certificates, raffle prizes, etc. A Volunteer Sign-Up sheet will circulate during the meeting for the race itself on Saturday, September 24^th. Registration opens at 6:30 am, with the race starting promptly at 8:00 and Awards Ceremony & Raffle Prize Giveaway at 9:30. “All Hands on Deck” - this is open to family, friends, students (community service anyone?) etc. Many people will be needed to ensure the success of this major event. (Even if not signed up in advance, please come to help!) Sponsorship info/form is available in the Downloads section at www.morningstarrotary.org with no sign-in needed. Please reach out to businesses, organizations, friends, family and colleagues.

Motivational Quote of the week:

There are no strangers here; Only friends that you haven’t met yet.

Sep 7 Weekly Foundation Thoughts

Posted by Ron Searfoss on Sep 07, 2016

Every Rotarian, Every Year

Every minute of every day someone’s life is being improved by our Rotary
Foundation.

Wells are being dug in India, blind children are using Braille
typewriters in Brazil, toilets are part of improved sanitation in Sri Lanka, and dental
treatment is available to the needy in Nicaragua.

In a world where the divide between the haves and have-nots is growing,

we as Rotarians must do our part and “do good in the world.”

Contributions from every Rotarian to the Annual Fund every year are critical to
making a difference in our world.
