WE  HAVE  A  NEW  DISTRICT  GOVERNOR
 
 
On Thursday evening, June 28, 2018, about 90  Rotarians and guests gathered at the Brookside Country Club in Macungie to celebrate the closing Rotary year and to induct our next District Governor. The traditional passing of the Gavel by the Past District Governors included PDG Bill Weber and PDG Bill Palmer. Our new DG is Cindy Hornaman of the Emmaus RC.
 
 
Other AW Rotarians there were Sue Weber, Jeanne Shipe, Halyna Stegura and, of course, Herb and Ronnee Klotz. Herb has moved up and is our District Governor Elect (DGE).
 
 
And Herb presented Janet Kolepp, Bethlehem Morning Star RC, with her lapel pin as our new District Governor Nominee (DGN).
