Membership & Perfect Attendance

Last week Chad Stuckey, who has been a member of our club since June, was officially inducted into the Emmaus Rotary family.  Immediate past president Mark Erle sponsored Chad.  They grew to know each other as they have children around the same age and they are neighbors.   Chad and his family live in Macungie. His vocation is in the solar power industry.  He will have an opportunity to present his classification talk with in the next year.  Welcome to Emmaus Rotary once again Chad!

 

 

In addition to celebrating our new member, J.P. Raynock led our annual ceremony of perfect attendance.  This is an accomplishment that takes significant dedication and sacrifice to Rotary and thus its' ideals, "service above self".  Earning perfect attendance for the first time in 2014 - 2015 were Mark Erle and Burt Duren. For the second year in a row, Fred Hermann earned the award.  Jim Palmquist accomplished his ninth year followed by Ralph Lewis hitting ten perfect years.  Beyond the impressive group that's been mentioned we jump to 43 years of 100% attendance by our sergeant at arms, Dale Dries.  Incredibly enough, one more Emmaus Rotarian has a longer streak at 63 year.  Truman was president and Queen Elizabeth II had just taken the thrown at that time.  Wilmer Schultz keeps his incredible streak going with SIXTY THREE years of perfect attendance as a Rotarian.  Congratulations!

 

 

Also recognized this past week were Emmaus Rotarians who sponsored a new member in 2014.  Ginny Wingard, Ceil Birdsell, and Steve Gould are pictured below receiving their pins.  Thank you for your dedication to share Rotary with others.
