Kentland Rotary April 23, 2012 Youth In Community Day

Kentland Rotary Club sponsored Youth in Community Day on Monday, April 23 and hosted a luncheon at the Trinity United Methodist Church in Kentland.  The Kentland Rotary Club is excited to expose students to the world of local government and local businesses.  During the morning, high school students from South Newton job shadowed local county officials to learn what are the duties of the various offices and local businesses to see how various businesses operate.  At noon the students, county officials, and business owners joined the Rotarians for lunch.  After the meal the students spoke briefly to introduce their hosts and explain their career and college goals.  They also described their experience and some of the information they had learned.  Kentland Rotary Club has been sponsoring Youth in Community Day for over fifteen years.  Roberta Dewing, Chairperson of the Kentland Rotary Scholarship/Vocational Committee appreciates the support of Cheryl Link, teacher at South Newton, the school corporation, the local county officials and local businesses who participate in this activity.
