Emmaus Rotary Recognition Dinner - June 16
Over 50 Rotarians and guests enjoyed the annual Club Recognition Dinner at Brookside Country Club on June 16, 2016. Mark Erle, Immediate Past President, was the Master of Ceremonies for the evening and he did a great job with generous portions of charm and humor.
After introductions, everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner and fellowship around the tables. Jeff McElhaney, President Elect, led off the program with a recap of the numerous club achievements during the year. He was followed by President Sue Straeter who recognized all of the committee chairmen, board members, club officers and several club members-at-large for their acts of service during the 2015-2016 year.
Past District Governor Gerry Friedman presented Sue with a plaque in appreciation of her dedication and leadership while serving as president. Then, Gul Asnani presented the President's Pin to Sue. Sue credits Gul as providing important encouragement to her to become more deeply committed to Rotary. Finally, Past District Governor Roger Whitcomb presented Sue with recognition as a Paul Harris Fellow for the outstanding leadership she provided to the club this year.
Following the presentations, several members offered congratulatory comments to Sue for her role in the successful work of the club during the 2015-2016 year. What a terrific evening of fun, fellowship, recognition and gratitude for a successful year of service in the life of our club!
