President's Message July 11
President Elect Kristian Schafer facilitated a discussion on topics for programs in the Rotary year ahead. 
  
 
As Program Chair, Kristian wants to ensure that the programs are on topics that are of interest to the members and potential members of the Club. 
Ideas presented included:
Chamber events and committees
Short Reclassification Talks
Ben Franklin Companies
Fun Programs (invite kids, go out and do something outside)
Focus on High School and College Students
Global Programs
Speakers should share their passion for serving or working for an agency
Bethlehem Library
Cops N Kids presentation
Local Businesses
Kristian is going to review the surveys and identify the topics that seem to be of most interest to the group.   We all can look forward to an interesting year of programs.
 

 
Kick Out Party was great!
A great time was had by all at the Kick Out party this past Saturday.  
 
Even the weather cooperated as we thanked Past President Ron (aka Santa) for his year of service.  Thank you to Kristian & Stephanie Schafer for opening up their beautiful home to us, and for providing terrific, live classic rock by The Acoustic Project!
 
(Also a special thanks to President Sharon for coordinating a fine event. Thank you, Past Pres. Ron)
 

 
This Week’s Meeting
 
Please join us this Thursday for an annual treat - we will hear from one of the students we sponsored to Camp Neidig last month!
In addition Charlie Incalcaterra and Rick Morrissey will provide some info about this camp - our district's Rotary Youth Leadership event.
 

Hope to see you on Thursday,
Pres. Sharon
  
 

 
Weekly Meetings for Race
 
 
As preparations for our 2016 Rotary Celtic Classic 5K Run/Walk and 10K Run on September 24 get into full swing, the committee will be meeting weekly before the regular club meeting. Members of the Race Committee, plus anyone interested in helping with preparations, are invited to join us at 7 am each Thursday morning at Moravian Village.  Hope to see you there!
