Celebrated on June 19th, Juneteenth, a state holiday since 2019 and a federal holiday since 2021, commemorates the ending of slavery when, on June 19, 1865, enslaved people in Texas were informed that they had been emancipated. Union Army Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas, and told enslaved African Americans of their emancipation. This was two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Lincoln and two months after the surrender of the confederate forces at Appomattox.

 

The colors and symbols on the flag are representative of freedom and the end of slavery in the United States.

 

Celebrations amongst newly freed African American enslaved people dating to 1866, started in Texas and eventually spread to the rest of the country. Today, Juneteenth serves as a time for reflection, remembrance, and celebration of African American culture and heritage, while also inspiring ongoing efforts to combat systemic racism and promote social justice for all.

Dr. Pamela Gunter-Smith, the fourth president of York College of Pennsylvania, concludes her decade of service on June 30th. A frequent guest and speaker at Rotary over the ten years of her presidency, Dr. "GS" is with us for a final time, reflecting on the change and growth at York College that she has been instrumental in leading. 

 

Her tenure, marked by visionary growth of programs and infrastructure at the college include establishing the five "schools" model, each with their own dean, deepening the college's connection to and relationship with the York community, and a remarkably successful weathering of the pandemic, thanks in great part to her own deep knowledge of the issues as a scientist. 

 

Pamela is married to Rotarian J.L. Smith, who has been an active and contributing member of our club during their time in York. We welcome Dr. GS once again to the Rotary Club of York.

Emeco Industries - Begin with what's left over. Turn it into what will last. Greg Poska, VP of Operations at Emeco, joins us to discuss the history and impact Emeco has had and continues to have in the world today. 

 

This is the story of Emeco. Started in 1944 in Hanover, PA, Emeco took salvaged aluminum and made high quality, long lasting chairs for the US Navy. A war-time necessity. Today it's scrap plastic, keeping it out of oceans and landfills and turning it into chairs that last. A planet necessity. 

 

By manufacturing in the US and sourcing as locally as possible, Emeco helps preserve skills and craftsmanship while supporting the local economy and reducing transport emissions. Chances are you have either sat in or have seen Emeco chairs on television or film.

Renewable energy is the world’s fastest growing energy source, with solar energy representing America’s fastest-growing power source, accounting for more than 40% of all new electricity generating capacity. Jason Raybin, a US Navy Submarine Veteran, has worked with power systems for 16 of the last 20 years. Jason Raybin shares the basics of how solar power works - where it started, where it is now, and where it’s headed.

 

Analysts have projected that total US solar capacity will quadruple over the next 10 years. The drastic improvement in performance is constantly evolving, and with the rise of energy storage technologies, it will become an even more viable solution.

In 2021, businesses in the United States added nearly 4 million jobs. At the same time, the United States has 3 million fewer workers today than we did in February 2020 before the pandemic.  Everywhere we see businesses advertising for workers. How can businesses recruit employees, and how do you retain employees who may think that the grass is greener with a competitor? 

 

We know Walt Tilley from his work with our Youth Exchange program, but is coming in his role as a partner, Stock and Leader, to share a fresh approach on Responding to America’s Labor Shortage.

Everyone needs a hobby heading into retirement and our presenter "dug in" going back to college to earn a Bachelor's degree in Archaeology and a Master's focused on Ancient Greece. Our speaker will be Joe Wagman, former Rotarian and Chairman of Wagman Construction. Joe has titled his talk "in search of Achillies".  Starting with an Art History class in college in his early 20's, and a couple of dig participations during his college years, Joe developed and active interest in Archaeology. Anticipating retirement forty years later, he took classes on a part-time basis at Dickinson College and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Archaeology in 2016.  In 2021 he completed a Master's program at the University of Pennsylvania, focused on the Mycenaean Civilization (ancient Greece).
 
Each summer in recent (non-Covid) years he has spent 2-3 weeks on digs in Greece. Joe will discuss the results of his most recent dig, that took place in June of 2022. The goal of that dig was to investigate the possibility that a first order Mycenean citadel, linked by Homer to Achilles, existed on the Akrolamia (hilltop) of Lamia, Greece. Come hear Joe's fascinating journey of transitions towards retirement and following your passions as time becomes more your own.

Cassandra Coleman is the Executive Director for the America250PA initiative. The Pennsylvania Commission for the United States Semiquincentennial Act of 2018 established America250PA to plan, encourage, develop, and coordinate the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, Pennsylvania’s integral role in that event and the impact of its people on the nation’s past, present, and future.  

 

Pennsylvania is THE birthplace of democracy! Almost 250 years ago, 13 colonies convened in Philadelphia to sign the Declaration of Independence — a document that conveys the ideals of equality, liberty, and government by consent of the governed. These ideals help us identify the cornerstone of our rights and responsibilities as Americans and Pennsylvanians.

 

America250PA envisions this historic initiative as an opportunity to engage ALL Pennsylvanians in ALL 67 counties to be certain that this commemoration is one that is most inclusive.

Ross Gibby, Chief Operating Officer of CRDC Global and President of CRDC USA, discusses how CRDC is creating appreciating value from the world’s plastic waste through an innovative solution that begins with the recovery of disposed plastic and ends with its use in concrete construction projects. Founded in 2018, the company is opening a facility in York and currently has operations in Costa Rica, USA, South Africa, Mexico, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. 

 

At the core of CRDC’s impact is a patented process that accepts all types of mixed or dirty plastic waste (Resins 1-7) and converts it into a range of concrete additives and eco-aggregates called RESIN8™. Concrete products containing RESIN8 meet or exceed internationally accepted ASTM standards and can be used in a wide variety of projects, including residential & commercial buildings as well as asphalt roadways. 

 

On the plastic recovery side, the ‘Bag That Builds” is CRDC’s innovative plastic waste collection program (currently being piloted in 4 countries) that receives and utilizes all types of plastic waste directly from households.

For over 205 years York Water has served the residents, businesses and industries of York with a safe, reliable water supply to meet the demands of our increasing population.  As York prospered through the Industrial Revolution, York Water's leadership recognized and planned for the increasing demand on the community's water resources, and in 1912 the Company constructed its first reservoir, Lake Williams, impounding over 600 million gallons of water.

Jessica Brubaker, co-founder and Executive Director of Keystone Kidspace - an exciting new nonprofit experiential learning space, provides an overview and tours of the facility that opened in October. Based in the historic York Armory building in downtown York, Keystone Kidspace serves families from across York County and beyond. Their STEAM programs are tailored to students in elementary and middle school and are specifically designed to meet the needs of kids and families in our region.

 

The focus is on giving kids the opportunity to work with real tools and real materials, as well as permission to make a mess and even fail (essential parts of the creative process), ultimately building skills, resilience and creative confidence. It is their belief that by creating a place that teaches a wide variety of technical and creative skills, Keystone Kidspace will build on York’s "legacy of making" to encourage our kids to become the next generation of makers and doers.

 

Keystone Kidspace is committed to building a community of kids and families that is genuinely open and inclusive. The organization was founded on the core belief that a child’s access to high quality enrichment should not depend on the school they attend or what their parents do for a living. All kids deserve the opportunity to discover what lights them up and to find “their people” who share their interests and passions.  Keystone Kidspace is working to provide that opportunity to all kids – a commitment that includes raising scholarship funds for families who might not be able to afford a membership on their own.
 
MEETING INFO:
* The facility will be open only to RCY members and guests in attendance.
* Keystone Kidspace is fully accessible.
* Beginning at 11:00am, Keystone Kidspace staff will provide tours of the facility prior to the Club meeting. Tours will also be available following the Club meeting until 2:00pm.
* Convenient parking is available across from the facility at Small's Field parking area.
* Attendees are requested to wear MASKS, except while eating lunch.

York County's Economic Action Plan showed that York County lags the state and national average in the birth rate of new small businesses.  Sully Pinos, the Director of Business Solutions & Innovation for the York County Economic Alliance, continue this small business support by leading the YCEA's new Bloom Empowerment Center. 

 

In her role with the YCEA, Sully oversees a variety of business outreach and engagement.

The Bloom Empowerment Center is a new initiative of the York County Economic Alliance (YCEA), supported by various stakeholder and community partners, that boasts a suite of small business support services to launch, grow, and propel small businesses forward in York County. BLOOM will do this by providing greater support to capital for small business grants and loans, education, and opportunity.

The Evolution of the Friends of Lebanon Cemetery 

Samantha Dorm, a grant writer, a reluctant historian, and one of the driving forces behind the Friends of Lebanon Cemetery (FOLC). Created in December of 2019, FOLC works to honor the early African-American community members of York County by remembering their legacies & sharing their stories.

Through volunteer efforts, 

Friends of Lebanon Cemetery serves to uncover the rich history of York County's African-American burial grounds by researching, identifying, and documenting the people interred in the cemetery, linking familial ties, preserving and restoring not just their locations, but their stories.  Even in death, there was segregation.

 

Founded in 1872, Lebanon Cemetery, located at 1412 North George Street,  is the final resting place for remains of more than 3,500 African Americans. This includes Abolitionist, Underground Railroad Conductors, Civil War Soldiers, Buffalo Soldiers, Tuskegee Airmen, Artists, Educators, Religious Leaders, Physicians, and more....... all together - based on the color of their skin.

Our speaker,  Randolph G. Russell, talks about connecting with history and how that makes us better citizens and also enriches our lives. We've all seen videos of people being stopped on the street and asked things about our country that should be common knowledge. The history of America is an amazing story but all too unfamiliar. Russell's informative and entertaining presentations have been enjoyed by more than a hundred Rotary clubs from Orlando to Kansas City to Las Vegas. 
 
In addition to his expertise in history, Russell is an accomplished musician who has performed in many European countries and throughout the United States.  His presentation will include a surprise at the end.
 
He is the author of American History In No Time, a quick and easy way for anyone to learn the basics – in just a few hours.  Copies will be available for purchase (cash only) at the meeting.

The Future of U.S. - China Relations: How to Move Forward Without Getting Along by Scott Moore.  This talk presents some new ideas for how to make progress on these shared global challenges despite deep and growing differences between China, the United States, and other countries.

 

The relationship between China and the United States is the most important one in the world, playing a crucial role in preserving the peace as well as trillions of dollars in trade and investment. And while the two countries have always had differences, rarely have they been sharper, as the United States investigates claims that China concealed evidence on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and struggles to deal with a regime it has said is perpetrating an ongoing genocide in Xinjiang. At the same time the world faces increasingly severe ecological and technological challenges, especially climate change and artificial intelligence, that will be impossible to address without working with China.   

 

Scott Moore, Director of China Programs and Strategic Initiatives and Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania, teaches courses on Chinese politics. An expert on China, the environment, and technology, Scott previously served as Environment, Science, Technology, and Health Officer at the U.S. Department of State during the Obama Administration and then at the World Bank. 

 

His new book, Rethinking China's Rise: New Ways to Compete and Cooperate on the Environment, Technology, and Beyond, which will be published by Oxford University Press in 2022, looks at how to make progress on issues like climate change, artificial intelligence, and other shared challenges despite deep and growing differences between China and other countries.

The Pennsylvania border county of York and its people stood smack in the middle of things - where South met North - in the American Civil War.  That war roiled York County from its tip near the capital of Harrisburg to its 40-mile base at the Mason-Dixon Line.  The war marched onto county soil in those terrible days before the Battle of Gettysburg. The four-day Confederate visit drained money, food, supplies, and horseflesh. Soldiers in both blue and gray died in the fighting.  Gettysburg came next, and county residents gathered food and supplies to treat the wounds of battle, a short 30 miles away.

Recently Governor Wolf's administration announced that Pennsylvania is making the largest solar power commitment of any state government in the country under an initiative to produce at least half of the state government's electricity needs (PULSE), through seven new utility scale solar arrays to be built around the state. One of which is expected to be located here in York County.  Learn about Pennsylvania's new approach, the array that is to be built in York county, the social, economic, and environmental benefits of solar and how Lightsource bp incorporates agriculture and sustainability into the company’s solar projects.
