Club News

Rotary at Work! 
One of my goals as President this year was to work with The Wildlands Conservancy to implement a project focused on environmental service. After many meetings and assessments, we found a really great project to participate in with the new Black River Sanctuary land preservation. I couldn’t be prouder of the work that Emmaus Rotary Club and The Rotary Club of Allentown teamed up to accomplish together with this joint District 7430 Grant.  ERC, ARC and Wildlands made a great team. 
Many thanks to all who came out to help plant and install deer protection. You've help create a special place.
When you set your mind to something...big things happen! Be the good in the world!
 
Shine Bright Friends!

Pottsville Train Excursion Postponed
Hello ERC Members,
 
Last week the Centennial Committee and Board of Directors made the decision to postpone the upcoming Pottsville Train Excursion scheduled for 5/20/23.
 
A small group of Rotarians, including myself had a very positive meeting with The Reading & Northern Railroad Company. They very graciously understood our position and agreed to allow us to postpone AND will refund our $1,000 deposit.  A very good outcome! By making the trip and having a transparent conversation we strengthened our relationship with the company and found ourselves collaborating on ways to improve the concept of the excursion.  
 
We now have a very broad timeline to postpone and when the date is schedule, we will start fresh with a new letter of intent and contract to move forward.  We assured the group that we are still very enthusiastic about holding a ride and that ERC Leadership is very much on board to make this a successful event for our Centennial Celebration line up.  
 
Moving forward Roger Whitcomb and his Centennial Celebration Committee, including Wade, Cindy and I will work out the details to bring forth a new plan to the Board. When a new plan is decided on, we will be sure that Wade (as excursion Chair) will have the support of a committee to make our next opportunity a BIG success.  
 
I'd like to sincerely thank Wade for all of his work thus far on building this event through is expertise and helpful contacts. And I very much appreciate Cindy, Roger and Wade for taking the time to make this very important meeting happen.  It made a world of difference, and we were a great team.  Many thanks to the Board for your thoughtful discussion at our last meeting. 
 
Onward and Upward!
