At last week's meeting, Past President Don Hannig presented Maria Candelaria with her Years of Service Certificate. Don discussed that Scoutmaster Tim Lloyd Troop 86 spoke to the Board about Stroudsburgs Rotary being a Charter Organization for the Boy Scouts. The Board approved it.

 

Don't forget to sign up for our 100th year History video and book presentation for next weeks meeting. No lunch or dinner meeting on Sept 29 only the evening presentation.

Also sign up for some fellowship with the 1.5 hour train ride from Honesdale to Hawley. See below for more information.

 

The evening group ventured to Wind Gap where we attended a joint meeting with the Slatebelt Rotary so we could listen to District Governor Craig Devenport.   We had a nice time and then had some fellowship afterwards.

 

 

Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing BBQ was a small but mighty event. The wounded Veterans that were able to attend appreciated all that we did for them. They loved being outside by the creek communing with nature.

We appreciate all the Rotarians that were able to come out and help plan, setup, serve, mingle, and cleanup. We had a respectful memorial table setup in honor and remembrance of our long time Rotarian John Parker. It was nice to have Mary Louis Parker in attendance and being part of an event that was near and dear to John Parker's heart. 

Ray Starner for the use of his property on Mc Michaels Creek. Always such a beautiful serene place for our wounded Veterans to come and relax, enjoy some fellowship, eat and fly fish
