The Monday noon luncheon meeting featured the Kentland Rotary Club's annual Youth in Government and Community Day program. Rotarian Roberta Dewing with the help of South Newton teacher, Cheryl Link, organized the event which was held in the Friendship Commons of the Trinity United Methodist Church in Kentland. The high school students were paired with local government office holders and business leaders whom they job shadowed for the morning during a typical workday. Later, at the noon luncheon, they reported on their experience, revealed a little about themselves and their plans after graduation.
The participating government office holders and business leaders were: Circuit Court Judge, Geryl Leach; Newton County Auditor, Sharon Dewing; Newton County Clerk, Janice Wilson; Newton County Surveyor, Chris Knochel; Newton County Prosecutor, Jeff Drinski; Emerson-Sondgerath Motors representative, Debby Shufflebarger; CPX - S & S Plastics, Inc., representative, Valerie Zarse; and Moments in Time Photography proprietor, Megan Shufflebarger.
Roberta Dewing encouraged all of the high school participants to be sure to apply for a Kentland Rotary Club scholarship to help them achieve their educational goals.
