Sept. 24, 2015: Thirty Rotarians and guests were present for a program hosted by Hal Dunkelberger. Col (ret) James E. Williams, Jr., Chairman of the Pennsylvania Prostrate Cancer Coalition, spoke about the importance of advocacy in bringing about an improvement in the screening available for prostate cancer and in convincing men to be assertive in pursuing their own health – that is, urging that men go to the doctor when they are well and have the PSA done to provide a baseline figure, pay as much attention to your health as you pay to your car, etc. For those not present, additional information can be found at PAPROSTATECANCER.org. Marv Rudnitsky introduced Fanny, exchange student from Belgium, who spoke briefly about her initial impressions – a rural vs. urban environment, her American French teacher “mother,” her classmates and playing tennis. Also present was visiting Rotarian Clem Gilpin of the Hershey Club, a retired professor who resides in Middletown. Melissa Laniewski served as greeter.
