Rotary Thanks for Thanksgiving...

I am thankful for all of the incredible blessings I have in my life of which Rotary is significant part.

I am thankful that in 1996, Beth Richardson asked me to come to a Rotary meeting and introduced me to Rotary... our Rotary sponsors have changed our lives.

I am thankful that we are making progress in curing cancer.

I am thankful that I never had to worry about my children being infected by polio.

I am thankful for our America's Promise mentoring program that brings together 8 year olds, 48 year olds, and 88 year olds in the joy of reading.

I am thankful for all of the Rotary friends, from other district clubs and around the world, who I've met on the Harrisburg, Kenya and Ecuador missions.

I am thankful that the Etown Rotary Student Loan fund and other scholarship funds help the youth in our community achieve their dreams.

I am thankful that my kids can learn healthy lifestyles on their field trips to the Byrnes Health Education Center and impoverished children in Haiti have the opportunity to be educated.

I am thankful for all of the people that work so hard selling Christmas trees to allow us to support great programs like GEARS, scouting, Hope Within, and emergency services.

I am thankful for all of the incredible Elizabethtown Rotarians ... ordinary people making an extraordinary impact on the world.

Have a fantastic Thanksgiving! Enjoy and cherish the precious time you spend with family and friends.
