Meeting this week
Meeting this Wednesday, December 4, will be at the Kutztown Tavern Club Room where we will celebrate the December Student of the Month event.
 
Each month the Kutztown Rotary Club recognizes one outstanding student each from Kutztown Area High School and Brandywine Heights Area High School. These students are selected by their school administrators and are often picked for significant improvement or overcoming challenges, accomplishments in academics, school participation, and community contributions. These students never fail to impress Rotarians with their positive impact on our community. Dinner for the student, two parents, and one school administrator will be paid for by the club - additional family and representatives from the school are always welcome.  
 
Meet at 6:00 to get a drink and socialize. We order dinner at 6:20, followed by invocation and club news. Program starts around 7:15.
 
Meeting will be hybrid - live and via zoom. There will be a board meeting at 5:30 which will use the same zoom link.

Please tell the club secretary (Melissa Kirk) who/what your programming will be as early as you can, but no later than 6 weeks before your date. If you cannot provide a program for your assigned date, please switch with someone and let Melissa know as soon as possible. The current meeting list will be updated regularly and can be found at this link.

Meeting November 20 - Jeopardy!
Meeting of November 20, 2024
 
At our last meeting, which was Wednesday, November 20, we played Jeopardy! at the Kutztown Tavern Club Room.
 
We split up into 2 teams to play an onscreen version of Jeopardy, edited just for our club. Except for one or 2 mistakes from our well-meaning judge, the game went well, and everyone had lots of fun. We also celebrated President Marie's birthday with a cake and a song. Thank you to Marie for providing prizes for the game.
 
Along with doing good in the community, our club believes in having fun. Follow the link below to find out more about our club.
