MONOCACY CREEK CLEAN-UP

THIS SATURDAY!

Our Bethlehem Morning Star Rotary Club, in partnership with the Monocacy Creek Watershed Association of Bethlehem, is once again organizing a stream clean-up for one of the ‘jewels’ of Bethlehem - the historic Monocacy Creek.

This year’s clean-up will be on Saturday April 13, and will again start at the Burnside Plantation. The key details are as follows:

Where - Burnside Plantation

When - Saturday, April 13, 2024

Time - 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM

Parking - At Burnside Plantation and Moravian College's Sports Medicine building adjacent to Burnside

We will work downstream, and if enough folks come out we will also work upstream towards Illick’s Mill.

UPCOMING SPEAKERS

Our People of Action Team is thrilled to announce that Kenya Connect (kenyaconnect.org) will be presenting at our upcoming meeting on April 25, 2024. Let's extend a warm welcome to Sharon Runge, Executive Director, and Faith Doucett, Director of Partnerships and Mentorships, who will be sharing valuable insights into the impactful work of this organization. Kenya Connect is a non-profit dedicated to improving education and enriching the lives of children in rural Kenya. Through innovative programs and strategic partnerships, they strive to bridge the gap between communities and educational resources, empowering young minds to reach their full potential. The People of Action Team were fortunate to connect and visit with this organization during their February visit in Kenya.

At the heart of Kenya Connect's mission lies a commitment to providing access to quality education for all children, regardless of their socio-economic background. Through initiatives such as school libraries, computer labs, and literacy programs, they aim to create a nurturing learning environment where children can thrive and develop essential skills for the future. One of the key pillars of Kenya Connect's approach is community engagement. By fostering strong partnerships with local schools, parents, and community leaders, they ensure that their efforts are sustainable and tailored to the specific needs of each community.

We encourage all members to attend this informative session. We meet on the 5th Floor of the Flatiron Building, 301 Broadway. If unable to attend in person, please join us via Zoom.
