Independence Day Celebration

J.P. Raynock led the Emmaus Rotary Club in a wonderful program celebrating our nation's Independence. The club enjoyed singing the National Anthem, God Bless America, and America the Beautiful. Catherine Raynock, pictured below, did an excellent job with her piano accompaniment on two songs. Between songs, Bob Goehler (after fixing "grammatical errors") read a fantastic poem about the American Flag, Ceil Birdsell told us the story of Uncle Sam, and Bob Rust gave us a prelude to the reading of the Declaration of Independence noting its basis stemming from the Ten Commandments. J.P. Raynock read the Declaration of Independence summing up our tribute to our great nation.
