Assembled by Melissa Kirk, Club Secretary
We have had some wonderful speakers in the first quarter of 2025. Kudos to the club members who invited them - we really appreciated it. Here is a short synopsis of the wonderful recent visitors for our club.
On January 29, we had a visit from Roy Leidy from Semper Fi & America's Fund. Roy is in charge of Semper Fi Fest which supports an organization called Semper Fi & America’s Fund. The goal of the organization is to get US armed service members and veterans together to support combat wounded, critically ill and other injured service members and veterans along with their family members. We also heard about their biggest fundraiser of the year - a pig roast at the Schnecksville Fire Company held this year on August 16, 2025.
Two past district governors visited in February to teach us about important Rotary fundamentals. On February 5, Cindy Hornamen spoke on the Rotary Foundation. The Rotary Foundation helps transform monetary gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. Through it, Rotary members can advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty. Learn more here. On February 26, Herb Klotz spoke to us about the Rotary Action Plan, a strategic road map which will help members better connect with each other, grow as an organization, and more effectively share our stories of how we are making a difference in communities.
On March 12 we heard from Liesel Gross, the CEO of Lehigh County Authority, a Public, Non-Profit Water and Wastewater Utility, committed to providing unparalleled service to residents and businesses in all our service areas.
