Just a reminder, we have a Morning Star Rotary Board meeting tomorrow evening, April 11 at 6:00 pm at Moravian Village.
As always, these meetings are open to all club members.
 
This Thursday, April 11 our speaker will be Rob Vaughn, Channel 69 News Anchor.
Rob will speak to us about living and working in the Lehigh Valley.
Please plan to join us and extend a warm Morning Star welcome to Rob.
2018-19 STRATEGIC PLAN GATHERING
2018-19 Strategic Plan Update
 
In February of 2017 a group of Morning Star Rotarians met and created a strategic plan for our club.  This plan is available on our website for you to review.
  
On April 14th, 9:00 am to 12 noon, at Condo Kolepp we will be meeting again to review and update this plan.  This plan is not a president's plan, or a board's plan.  This plan is designed to represent the vision and mission of the entire club. 
In preparation for the upcoming meeting we have a special timely request.  Attached to this email is a Member Satisfaction Survey for you as a Morning Star member to complete.  Your participation in the survey is vital to understanding and planning the strategy for our club. 
 
The link for the Member Survey in the bulletin this week.  
 
 Please complete this survey, if you have not already, and return it ASAP or mail it to me (4746 Cheryl Drive, Bethlehem, PA 18017.)
   
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Yours in Rotary Service,
Janet Kolepp

The Spaghetti Dinner is quickly approaching and there is still a lot to be done. Here is how you can help:
 
DONATE A BASKET OR ITEMS FOR BASKET: help enhance the value of the raffle
 
VOLUNTEER: We still need many volunteers in order to make this a success. Attached is a volunteer sign-up sheet as well as a job description for each task. PLEASE get back to me with the slot that you can fill. We need all hands on deck. 
  
BAKE (OR BUY): We still need many more desserts! Please bring a dessert with you - can be homemade or store bought. Again, please let me know if you will be bringing a dessert (for planning purposes.) If you will not be able to make it that night, I will be happy to make arrangements to pick up your donated dessert.
 
SPONSORS: If you or your business would like to be a table sponsor, please forward your ad by April 7th. The cost is $40 per ad and will appear at every table.
 
SELL:  To make this a success, we need diners. Please sell your tickets or buy and donate them back to the club. Remember, you can dine-in or take-out.
 
Thank you in advance for your help in making this fun(d)-raising event a success. 
Proceeds will not only go toward our general Community Grant fund, but will support the Audrey Rafferty Memorial Scholarship.
