Last Week's Meeting Past President Dave Woods announced Amy Leiser as the recipient of the Rotarian of the Year 2023-24. Well-deserved for all of her service with RYLA, jumping into the secretary position and her position as secretary on the Foundation Board. Congratulations!!! _____________ On a sad note, Chuck Niclaus will be moving away, and he came last week to say his goodbyes. He will be missed. ______________ President Stacy shared a PowerPoint outlining Stroudsburgs Rotary 2024-25 goals and how we plan to implement Rotary International's Action Plan. PowerPoint will be emailed. I appreciate the feedback I have received from Rotarians. Let's keep the conversations rolling. Conversation with Sycamore - Our attendance is low, granted it is summertime, however these factors also come into play when we talk about replacing one lunch meeting with one breakfast meeting. Please reply to this email if you will be attending lunch so they do not over cook. They are cooking for 30 but at times we have had 20-22. When we have a breakfast meeting, those that cannot or choose not to attend could eat at the Sycamore Grill in the restaurant. The restaurant will be open and there is a side section that Rotarians as a group could sit together and be served. You will order off the regular menu. If you choose, a group could patron another restaurant too. _____________ A big thank you to Chiffon Bourjolly for stepping into our social media chair position. An enormous addition to getting the word out and Rotary's exposure to the public. Shantelle Davis, owner of SJ Media Consulting Management Services will be coming on board to advise and oversee the Social Media area. We had an extremely productive 1st meeting and we received invaluable information from Shantelle. Chiffon and Leslie did their homework and have implemented so much, we are ready for action. ______________ Stroudsburgs Rotary Paul Harris Challenge - earn your 1st Paul Harris or as a multiple donor recipient. The winner of the 1st check received towards receiving a Paul Harris was none other than Peter Andrews. He missed the meeting due to traffic but drove to Sycamore to hand in his check and win a prize. Not too competitive. lol We have received 3 checks so far, there is a cap placed on the number of points that will be matched so get your checks in soon. We will honor any birthday/anniversary money received in July if it brings you to your Paul Harris. Respond if you have tables to bring, a generator, your time and energy. It's a fun event. We are raising funds & used bicycles towards Pedals 4 Progress. July 25 - Learn Balloon Twisting at Thursdays evening meeting - 6:15-7:00pm at Peppe's. __________________ |
