NO MEETING NEXT WEEK!
Remember, no meeting next week, which gives you more time to come out to the recognition event Thursday evening at Lehigh.
Last week's meeting snipits
A huge thank you to all who came out last week.  Our new site went quite well.  There are always things that change and we will work out little kinks as they appear.  Let's put on a good show this week for our District Governor and show him how adaptable our Club is to change. 
Let's remember to support Roger, Gary and the entire Centennial Committee in preparations for a really fun 2025 year.

Emmaus Rotary Flag Program Renewal Time
 
Now is time to renew for 2022.  The price is the same as last year, only $49.00 for the year.  This will include having our great Flag put on your property 6 times this year starting with Memorial Day.
I will be set up to take payments this week at Rotary.  I can take credit cards or your check.
The renewal process is easy, all you need to do is click on this link http://Flags.EmmausRotary.org 
 
Thank you so much for renewing and it would be great if your neighbor on each side of you joined the program also.

Rotary and BEYOND
Emmaus Rotarians truly do live a lifestyle of Service Above Self!
Many of us help with other organizations to raise funds for great causes.  If you wish to mention your outside fund-raising event at Rotary, just put up four Happy Dollars and let us know about what is going on.  If I have a website link to your cause I will post it here.
 
Ex.  I support the PA. Perimeter Ride Against Cancer which benefits the American Cancer Society and Dream Come True.

Bob Halsey's Keeping Tabs on Us! 

Can Tabs For The Miracle League LV / Submitted By Bob Halsey   

In 2018 We started collecting the Tabs from all types of cans Soda, Beer, Seltzer, Tuna Fish, Sardines, Soup Cans, Etc. In 2018 we were able to deliver Five Full One Gallon Jugs of Tabs…Last year, 2019 we were able to deliver Three Full One Gallon Jugs of Tabs. So far this year 2020 we now have One Full One Gallon Jugs. I would hope we can again this year, 2020, can fill at least another Five Full One Gallon Jug OR MORE. I turn these into the Miracle League in the Middle of October, right before Halloween. They turn them into the Dupont Children’s Hospital in Wilmington Delaware. Other organizations also collect these Tabs, in total the Hospital has been able sell these for enough Money to pay 75% of the Utilities Cost in their Ronald House, where Families to stay at a very Nominal Cost when their Handicapped Children need to go for Treatment. You can bring Tabs every Thursday to our regular Breakfast Meetings.
