President's Message 5-26-17
We had the opportunity to learn more about Morning Star Rotarian Stephen Kazar at our Thursday meeting.  Stephen was born in Bermuda at Kindley Army Airforce Base.  His family later moved to Wisconsin, where he earned his Undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Education with minors in Philosophy and Photography.  Stephen has worked for 30 years in higher education and has traveled around the world extensively in pursuing his vocation.  He is currently the Director of Global Online Graduate Degrees and Training at Lehigh University.  His wife Ellen is a Math & English teacher in the Allentown School District. They have 2 adult children living on the west coast and with two lovely granddaughters and soon to be 3 grandchildren. 
 
Stephen has been active in Morning Star Rotary since joining and serves on the Board.

FRANCISCO'S UNIQUE MEMORIAL DAY
Francisco, our exchange student from Chile,  had a unique experience for his Memorial Day Celebration. He accompanied host “DAD” USMC Tom Bailey to Washington, DC to participate in the NAM KNIGHTS 2017 Rolling Thunder celebration to honor our fallen brothers and sisters in the military and police organizations.
 
“All in all he had a great time and experienced some things he will never forget, like seeing men big as trees and very rough looking just break down and cry openly at the Viet Nam Wall and the Police Memorial…” TB
The Founder of NAM KNIGHTS
 
Unique transportation
Vets, police, active and retired....rolling thunder!!!

ROTARY FOUNDATION ANNOUNCEMENT
Rotary Foundation Announcement
 
This year marks the 100th Anniversary of The Rotary Foundation.  The Foundation was formed in 1917 arising from Rotarian Arch Klumph’s idea to form an endowment fund dedicated to “doing good in the world”.
 
Bethlehem Morning Star has always been a supporter of The Rotary Foundation.  Over the past two years, our club has been one of the few clubs within the District to achieve 100% participation, as all club members have made a contribution to the Foundation each year.
 
The Foundation Committee asks that each Rotarian consider a minimum gift of $100 to The Rotary Foundation this year.  If you are unable to commit to $100, you may want to consider a contribution of $26.50 which was the original Foundation contribution. Any amount will be appreciated, and count towards 100% participation.
 
As the Rotary year ends on June 30, the Foundation Committee is asking that all contributions be made by June 1.  You can make your contribution by check or at the $2/week table when you sign in.  Checks should be made payable to “Rotary Foundation”, and given to Tom Hartzell at a weekly meeting.  Checks can also be mailed to Tom Hartzell, 1341 Biafore Avenue, Bethlehem, PA 18017.
 
If you are not sure if you have made a contribution during this Rotary year, you can check with Tom or Sue Burnett.
 
Why should you make a contribution to Rotary Foundation?  Because you are a Rotarian! 
 
Thanks to everyone in Bethlehem Morning Star for their continued support of Rotary Foundation.
