Meeting this past Wednesday, July 9, 2025:
was our first club assembly/board meeting. Thank you to everyone who came out and especially to those of you who participated in the club discussions. Meeting minutes will be distributed to the whole club approximately one month after each meeting (after they are officially accepted by the board during the following month's meeting).
 
In brief, some of the discussions included: classification and description of honorary members, future dues amount (and maintaining the inclusion of a $50 annual donation per member to Rotary International), and club participation at Kutztown Day.
 
Next month will include a discussion on the 2025-2026 club budget.

Update on the NexTrex recycling program!
 If you are able to, please take the recycling to Weis in Kutztown. Clear bags to use for the recycling and a scale are available in the Taveren Clubroom. If it is small, check to see if it can fit in the recycling bin at the front of the store. If it is too big for that bin, please ask at customer service desk (before 8:00 pm) and they will unlock the gate behind the store for you to drop it off there. Please email your picture and the weight to Melissa Kirk or Laura McBride to get it recorded at NexTrex to count towards our 1000 lbs for the bench. If you are unable to drop off the plastic yourself, please bring it to a meeting.
