This past week for the Kutztown Rotary Club
Thank you to all who came out for our social night to play bar bingo at Liberty Tap Room in Dryville. We would all like to give a special shout out to our very helpful assistant waitress who was kind enough to relay the numbers to us so that we could have group tables in the back room. Congrats to winners Chris Volk and Bob Hobaugh. 
 
Along with all of our good work, our Rotary Club likes to have fun. Please visit our website to learn more and reach out with any questions about our club.
