Rotary Club Offers a Chance for Community Involvement

By Matt Schneider

This past year a select group of Newman students have had the privilege of attending Rotary Club meetings.

Rotary Club meetings take place on Mondays and consist of a lunch, followed by guest speakers. Guest speakers usually include prominent community members who inform those attending on the goings-on in the community. Such discussions could range from up-and-coming social events to town policies.

Visiting Rotary Club meetings is an excellent opportunity for students to become more connected with their community. Club members are typically local businessmen and women and it is not uncommon to see local politicians there as well. P.J. Menzner was one of the students who was chosen to attend Rotary Club meetings during his lunch hour. When asked about his experience he said: "It was a fun and engaging experience. I got to eat lunch and meet with many important business leaders in our community and it was very interesting to hear their stories." P.J. is currently hoping to pursue a degree in business in college.

Among the many unique opportunities offered to students at Newman Catholic High School, a chance to visit Rotary Club is a chance worth taking.
