Recap-
Under the leadership of President Ed Schaefer, we held our seventh annual high school seniors leadership luncheon.
We had the honor of having Rotary District 7410, District Governor Tim Genetti share Rotary with the future high school senior leaders from the various high schools in East Stroudsburg and Stroudsburg.
Our wonderful guest speaker Vikki Kenyon shared about her resilience and determination in making a dream come true. From roasting nuts to opening a combined café with an attached cat adoption center and a gift store.
It was a very inspiring talk.
