NET-POSITIVE ENERGY BUILDING
Please join us this Thursday for what will be a very educational talk by our own Russ Pacala.
 
Russel Pacala is a Principal at Spillman Farmer Architects.  He has been practicing architecture for over 38 years and is a LEED Accredited Professional.  He is passionate about good design and sustainable architecture, and has won several design awards throughout his career. Russ lives in Bethlehem and has been a member of the Bethlehem Morning Star Rotary Club for 29 years.
 
Title:  Millersville University – Lombardo Welcome Center - A Net-Positive Energy Building
 
Russ will discuss:
  • what is a net-positive energy building
  • how does designing a net-positive energy building differ from a standard building
  • what are the sustainability features of the building & Millersville’s goals
  • how are sustainable features integrated into the building design
  • how is the building used as a teaching tool

Congratulations to Rotarians and Annual Fund Coordinators!  D7430 Rotarians and Clubs have exceeded the goal set last August with a current total 2018-2019 contribution of $204,550.  History tells us this will continue to rise, most likely modestly, through July.  And in 2021-22 more than $100,000 will return to D7430 for use in District and Global Grants!
 
EVERY Club has recorded some level of support to OUR Foundation, for a total among the Annual Fund, Endowment Fund, Polio Plus and other funds of $290,843.
