H.S. Leadership luncheon
 
We appreciate our $1,000 anonymous donor for the high school leadership luncheon and all Rotarians that have sponsored students.  Please keep spreading the word so we can determine how many students are covered.
 
Rotarians cost to sponsor $25/student.
PURPOSE: to Introduce Rotary to over 100 high school future leaders.
 
We share the importance of leadership and giving back to the community and worldwide.
 
Sponsorships help cover the cost of the students and also raises money to give back in scholarships to top deserving students at the end of the year. (H.S. Senior for college, Service Above Self Awards, RYLA, Exchange Student opportunity.)

Featured Speaker & Announcements
Recap Oct 17, 2024
Recap:
Last week we had the pleasure of hearing from Leslie Perryman, Program Director for RHD Crossroads Community Services, a non-profit organization that offers Blended Case Management, Permanent Supportive Housing, and Flexible Housing Funding in Carbon, Monroe, and Pike Counties in Pennsylvania, and Street 2 Feet Outreach Center.
RHD Street2Feet Outreach Center is the only day shelter and outreach program for adults who are homeless or facing homelessness in Monroe County.  They provide showers and washing machines/dryers, clothing, computers to look for jobs, and an address they could utilize. It is a wonderful program, in a very nice facility tucked away on 1st Street.
 
Leslie Underhill and Pres. Stacy Rodriguez went on air today (Monday) with Gary Cee from Poco 103 to promote Stroudsburgs Rotary World Polio Day event on Thursday Oct 24.
 
 
 
Condolences to Frank Herting and his family on the passing away of Rotarian Barbara Herting. Barbara joined Rotary in  2017 but I believe she was by Franks side for many years prior.
