Meeting this week
Meeting this Wednesday, April 2, will be at the Kutztown Tavern Club Room where we will celebrate the April 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.
