!! Rotary Club of Red Hook, New York Weekly Bulletin SERVICE ABOVE SELF June 21, 2016 http://www.redhookrotaryclub.org/ www.facebook.com/redhookrotaryclub We had a very busy meeting! We awarded our high school senior scholarship to some outstanding local students. Shown left to right are: scholarship chair Linda G r e e n b l a t t, J i n n e s s a Va l e z o f Germantown High School, Rotary President Susan Simon, Patrick Comerford of Red Hook High School, and Abby Foster of Red Hook High School. Our High School Interact Club was recognized for once again being ShelterBox heroes. Through their fund raising efforts, they endowed another $1,000.00 ShelterBox for a family displaced by a natural disaster. Shown in the photo are: President Simon presenting the ShelterBox Hero award to Interact co-president Abby Foster.
We were delighted to welcome back our 2009 exchange student from F r a n c e, S i d o n e Kerballac, who made instant friends with this year's French exchange student Raphaelle. Sadly, we have to say "Au Revoir" to Raph who is going home on Tuesday. It was a great year having you Raph and be sure to come back and visit! Shown in the photo are youth exchange committee member David Wright, Sid, Raph and youth exchange committee member Christine Chale.
