Recap Thank you to last weeks speaker, Cindy Spinner, recruiter for the Milton Hershey School. Cindy spoke at both meetings and she came bearing gifts of chocolate, which was so sweet of her. (badaboom, ok no more jokes for me) Sharing His Success: "Milton Hershey believed that every person is “morally obligated to share the fruits of success with others.” This belief resulted in great contributions to his community and the world. He and his wife, Catherine, wanted to put their growing fortune to good use. Because they loved children and were unable to have their own, they decided to start a school in 1909: The Hershey Industrial School. Their goal was to create a school for low-income, orphaned boys to help them lead successful and happy lives. The school was the primary recipient of Mr. Hershey’s fortune when he died in 1945 at age 88." Excerpt from the website Stroudsburgs Rotary Board Nominations- We took a vote last week on the Proposed Board Members. Don Hannig made a motion to close nominations, however Ginny Kirwood made a motion for Tricia Wingerter as V.P. She accepted the nomination, and the members voted unanimously on accepting the proposed Board Members. With that being said, Tricia is taking time to take this all in and we are giving her time to think about the required commitment. She will confirm or deny her acceptance when she has made her decision. Proposed Board Members accepted by the members: President - Ed Schaefer Pres Elect - Mike Raub V.P. - Tricia Wingerter - to re-confirm at a later date Secretary - Amy Leiser Treasurer - Marlo Merhige Asst Treasurer - Ted Butz Director At Large - Dave Yarosh - not moving up in line for the Presidency Director At Large - Gene Prospero - not moving up in line for the Presidency Past President - Stacy Rodriguez Dave Fox expressed a concern regarding the slate of officers. We are in need of Board Members that are willing to make the commitment to Rotary and move into the line of Presidency. There is a learning curve and we give you a few years to learn the different areas of concern. Please consider taking on a leadership role. If I can do it so can you. Be the inspiration you want to see. Golf Tournament Results - Chair Don Hannig stated we raised about $11,777. (Exact amount is not in front of me) Great job to everyone who participated. A final breakdown will be given after Don has his final meeting with the Foundation Treasurer Karen Bastidas. Generosity Thank You's Danica Hartenfels has been deeply touched by the friendship and commitment of fellow Rotarian TJ Price that Danica has made 9 candles, named Generosity Swells My Heart, and raffled them off at our lunch meeting for $20/ each and donated all the proceeds to our club raising $180. We appreciate both of you for all you do! New Proposed Membership- Proposed new memberships have been emailed twice for Russell Little and Tiffany Lyons, and once for Devin Garlick. We look forward to their addition to the Rotary family. |
