YOUR ROTARY LEGACY
Goals: Building Your Legacy & Education
You’ve devoted your life to helping others through Rotary. We’re asking you to help tomorrows Rotarians to keep your legacy alive through a strong Foundation.
We must also educate today’s Rotarians to continue supporting the Foundation you helped to build.
We are building a $2.7 million bridge between the challenges of today and the hope of tomorrow. Through October, 2026
Ways you can help!
- Donate a gift or pledge of $10,000 or more.
- Consider the ways you can build your gift.
- Invite a committee member to speak with your club.
Ways to build your gift?
- Cash in a single payment or spread over three annual payments
- Your gift could be securities or appreciated assets
- Bequest or Beneficiary designation.
- Life income annuity
- There are many more options to help you support The Rotary Foundation the way you wish.
- In over thirty-five years as a Rotarian, I have watched Rotarians do amazing things. Things many thought impossible. Our Governors have set a high bar ($2.7 Million)

We fight hunger: Our East Penn Food Coalition has distributed over 32000 bags of food to the needy in our community.
The East Penn Feeding Program was established in 2019 in conjunction with the East Penn School District to address the food insecurities of children and families in our East Penn Region. To date over 18,000 bags of food have been distributed in our community.
The East Penn Food Coalition was then initiated with local service organizations in the area to jointly support the needs of our Community. The Emmaus Rotary manages the overall program with all of the other service organizations below helping to support the cause.
- Kiwanis Club
- Lions Club
- Lioness Club
- Bethel Pantry (Groceries Plus)
- Faith Presbyterian Church
- Grace Lutheran Church
- Angel Network
- Lower Macungie Township Community Center
- Mack Trucks
With food prices increasing, our organization needs at least $30,000 annually to continue to fund our program. Please consider donating to help the children and families in our area.

Welcome to the Emmaus Rotary Club.
Rotary is where service, connection, and community come together. As President, I am honored to serve alongside members who care about making a meaningful difference in Emmaus and beyond.
This year, our focus is simple: to grow our capacity to serve. That means strengthening our club, building meaningful partnerships, supporting local needs, and creating more opportunities for people to get involved.
If you are a longtime member, a community partner, or someone looking to give back, there is a place for you here.
Together, we can build a stronger, more connected community through service.
Yours in Rotary,
Valerie Deneen
President, Emmaus Rotary Club
