Thursday morning Burt announced September 23rd as our make a difference day. There will be plenty for all of us to chose from. Burt and Gary Guthrie are putting together at least four projects....one is serving a meal at the Allentown Rescue Mission (lunch), Sprucing up Hillside School, Miracle League (one game for certain possibly two games to help with Interact students for the second game), Meal packaging 5000 meals for the community. Gary is still looking for a painting project with Lower Macungie (not Bruce Fosselman's home). If for some reason you are not around this weekend in September please understand any financial contribution will be very helpful. Please help Make A Difference Day be a hugh success.
Bill Erdman took a few minutes to talk about the Rotary Foundation. The Rotary foundation helps serve not so lucky families that do not have food on the weekend. We help support weekend backpacking where backpacks are filled with enough food to support that little person for the weekend because they do not have any food. We as Rotarians have been extremely blessed and believe that serving and helping humanity is something we love to do. Roger Whitcomb Quoted Winston Churchill " We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give".
The most important part I took from this is that when you give to EREY (Every Rotarian Every Year) that amount of money you give each week, each month and each year accumulates year after year accumulating for some enough to receive their Paul Harris Fellow. Please keep giving to EREY and the foundation.
