The veteran comics artist, along with a number of other artists and writers, will appear this week as part of the Clarks Summit Festival of Ice Comic Book convention.

CVS gains conditional approval
C.S. arrest uncovers burglary ring BY GERARD NOLAN Abington Journal Correspondent
CLARKS SUMMIT- The day, Jan.11, began with a call that came into the Clarks Summit police department. A resident reported garage door damage on Haven Lane. Officer Robert Shedlock was dispatched to investigate. “That’s unusual,” Shedlock said of the damage. “But that doesn’t necessarily scream burglary.” Then another call came in: a garage door had been smashed by a car in the same neighborhood. This time, the residents reported that an intruder had been inside the house. “While I was doing the second call...We had a third call,” Shedlock said. “It became pretty evident that they were all related.” Witnesses provided a description of the suspect and the car, a Silver Subaru Forester. Police were on high alert.. “It was about an hour after we cleared the last call that there was a report of a driver coming off the Interstate (81),” Shedlock said. “The vehicle was driving erratically.

hose who have not visited the Indraloka Animal Sanctuary, a “heaven on earth” haven to 165 animals in Mehoopany, will have an opportunity to meet sanctuary founder and director, Indra Lahiri and a few of her friends at an upcoming “Advanced Animal Communication” workshop at Everything Natural, 426 S. State St., Clarks Summit in the downstairs classroom. Lahiri will teach participants how to communicate with animals Feb.17 and 24 and March 3 and10, all Sunday afternoons. Participants are asked to wear comfortable, casual clothing and be prepared to spend time on the floor interacting with animals. They should also bring along a journal and pen to take notes. According to Lahiri, the upcoming workshop at Everything Natural “will be both fun and meaningful,” and “will be an opportunity for people to enrich their own lives and their experiences with animals,” she said. “What I’d like everyone to know is that everyone can communicate with animals, and that in fact, they are doing it all the time, but there is a deeper level we can get to. It doesn’t require being psychic.
It’s an ability we all have to connect to what’s natural around us. The more we do that, the better it is for us and the better it is for them.” See Animal, Page 9

wo textbook definitions of the word romance are “a love affair” and an “ardent emotional attachment or involvement between people; love.” Al and Audrey Zeiss, Milwaukee, Ransom Township demonstrate it with a courtship that led to a lifetime of dedication. “I don’t know when we finally decided we were meant for each other,” said Audrey. “He just said we were going to get married. He set the date.” Al is 95 and Audrey, 90 and they have been married for more than seven decades. Seventy-two years to be exact. As they reminisced about their courtship on a wintry February day, Al said, “I knew her and we sang in the choir. We had similar interests. She was a member of the choir and we usually sang on Sunday mornings and for special events. I think that’s what drew us together.” Audrey added, “We belonged to the youth group and that’s how our romance started.” In January 1939, they had their first date together while celebrating Al’s 21st birthday. “We had a friend in WilkesBarre who invited us down,” said Al. “I asked her to go with me and that was our first date,” he said. But Al had another girlfriend at the time, “but she had to play basketball that night,” said Audrey, “so he asked her if he could take me and she said yes. I went and I guess she was sorry afterward…But it didn’t end our friendship (with her friend),” said Audrey. Their dates typically fell on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and occasionally they went to the movies together. Al loved the prompt nature of his sweetheart. “It seemed when I went to her house, she was always ready,” he said. Audrey said it was obvious that he had her heart, “ I was always there. I never had a boyfriend… I lost my mother when I was about 12 and I took care of the house…when he came along it was something I needed and wanted.” They married Nov. 9, 1940, the day after Audrey’s birthday, in what was then the Milwaukee United Methodist Church with 50 to 75 guests on hand. She was 18 and her groom was 22. From 1942 to 1943, Al took a job in

car it was?” A Silver Subaru Forester exited I-81 at Clarks Summit and headed toward the Abingtons. The Lackawanna County Emergency Communications Center alerted South Abington Township and Clarks Summit police to the incoming vehicle, he said. The Subaru entered Taco Bell’s drive-thru and Shedlock watched from across the street. The car and driver matched the descriptions provided by witnesses, according to Shedlock. Shedlock followed the car into Clarks Summit’s jurisdiction and made a traffic stop. The vehicle had front-end damage, he said, and white streaks of paint across its hood. “You don’t need a search warrant to see the outside of a car,” Shedlock said. “I started to ask her (the driver) questions,” Shedlock said. “She gave me conflicting answers.” Shedlock placed the suspect, Elle Massetti, 23, of 326 Hardwood Drive, Clarks Summit, under arrest. A search of Massetti and her car yielded about a dozen bags of suspected heroin. The police also found a cache of jewelry, most of which was linked to similar burglaries in South Abington Twp., he said. Now, about a month later, Massetti has been linked to several other burglaries, Shedlock and Police Chief Joe Laguzzi said. Police have not ruled out the presence of accomplices, Laguzzi added. Clark Summit’s top cop called Shedlock “observant” and his efforts “real good police work.” Massetti remains in Lackawanna County Prison after failing to make bail. The criminal case

In this Year of Faith, the Church invites us to renew our faith and rekindle our relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ. One of the greatest ways to accept this invitation is through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, given to us by Jesus to receive His healing love. The Church encourages us to make confession a regular part of our spiritual life, especially during the holy season of Lent, as we reflect on our baptism and repentance. Bishop Joseph C. Bambera is helping to make this experience possible by arranging for a Lenten initiative called
The Light Is On For You.

The original Batman editor approached Adams and asked what made him qualified to know what Batman should look like. “It’s not that I know what batman should be,” Adams replied. “It’s me and every kid in America who knows what Batman should be. Apparently the only people who don’t know what Batman should be are people here at DC Comics.” After that, every artist at DC Comics drew Batman like Adams drew him to “improve their incomes,” he said. “Essentially the Batman that we draw is my Batman,” he added. “I just went back in time to when Jerry Robinson was doing Batman.” Robinson, a pioneer in the early days of Batman comics died in 2011. Adams offered some advice for aspiring comic book artists. “It’s not like being a doctor or a lawyer,” Adams said. “There are thousands and thousands of those. There’s only a few hundred artists out there.” Artists have to work hard and learn about a variety of artistic techniques, genres and media, he continued. “The competition’s very, very stiff and there are very few people lucky enough to be doing it,” he said, adding that comic book publishers attract top-shelf talent from around the world. The veteran artist enjoys comic book conventions. He likes a chat with an exuberant fan or someone who remembers an obscure comic he drew decades ago. He spent a lot of time cloistered in an office, drawing and writing. Now he likes interacting with the fans. “I like to spend time with people,” he said. “I like people, I like to understand how they think. The definition of a comic book artist is you put a guy in a closet, you give him a radio to listen to and you give him art supplies, and you give him paper, and then you lock the door on him, and he’ll fill those pages with art and slide them under the door just so he can get more paper.” The comic book industry has gone from heaving what seemed its last breath to a reinvigoration at the hands of people like Adams. Today the industry spans the globe and has achieved mass appeal. And comic book-themed movies have become huge draws at the box office. “Marvel’s The Avengers,” out last summer, ranks among the highestgrossing films of all time, earning well over $1 billion worldwide, Adams said. The world of comic books is awash with possibility, and Adams can see no end to the genre’s growth. “If you don’t watch it, comic books will take over the world.” Adams and his son, artist Josh Adams, and other comic book creators will be on hand Feb. 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to meet and greet fans.

Recently local hiking author Jeff Mitchell wowed us with his presentation Hiking Through the Natural Beauty of Pennsylvania. Over 134 people attended to learn more about the remarkable beauty in our own backyard. Before this talk, I had only experienced the falls at Ricketts Glen State Park but now I am inspired to visit other areas of that park and to explore Frances Slocum State Park. We would like to thank Jeff for sharing his time and hiking knowledge with the community through this presentation and for generously donating all of the proceeds from copies of his book Hiking the Endless Mountains that were sold before and after the talk. Speaking of books, we had a great turn out for our first Wyoming County Reads discussion at the Tunkhannock Public Library last week. It was so great to hear so many voices participating in discussion surrounding the historical figures and fictional characters in the book, Ragtime‘s interwoven plot lines and the significance of the setting and time period in the book. Local scholar Bill Chapla did a fantastic job facilitating the discussion. Join us at 7 p.m. tonight at the Tunkhannock Public Library for our second Ragtime discussion. Tonight’s topic is The Inevitability of and the Human Response to Change. We would like to thank the Wyoming County Commissioners Office for sponsoring Wyoming County Reads. Another upcoming event that is related to Wyoming County Reads will take place on Tunkhannock’s 4th Friday – Feb. 22 from 6 to 9 p.m. You are invited to join us at Kitson & Company Gallery where owner Patrick Robinson will feature ragtime music on albums featuring 36 songs from Ragtime Razzmatazz albums, recorded and played by Mark P. Wetch. The gallery will also showcase ragtime sheet music for sale and other collectibles from the ragtime era. Kitson & Company is located across the street from the Dietrich at 34 E. Tioga Street. Please stop by and enjoy. Admission is free. On 4th Friday, Feb. 22, the Dietrich will also be hosting Open Mic Night which will begin at 7:15 p.m. You are encouraged to come watch or to join. Musicians, poets, storytellers, comedians, playwrights and other performers are invited to share their tales. Then at 8:15 p.m. featured guest K.K. Gordon will take the stage. He has won poetry slams in New York City, Washington D.C. and Scranton. K.K. helped found No Poets Allowed and has participated on WVIA’s Poetry Minutes.

Coping with the current cold snaps (and higher winter energy costs) might inspire patrons of the Abington Community Library to take a look at two recent additions on the New Books shelf. “Consumer Guide to Home Energy Savings: 9th edition,” by Jennifer Thorne Amann [et al]. Updated and expanded chapters in this resource for homeowners is packed with tips on improving existing equipment and guidance for when and why to invest in new purchases. There are also pointers on locating grants or incentives offered by local governments and utilities. It is a helpful source of information for anyone concerned about reducing both their energy bills and their environmental impact. “Prefabulous + Almost Off the Grid: Your Path to Building an Energy-Independent Home,” by Sheri Koones. Profiling more than thirty prefabricated, most energy-efficient homes in the United States, this userfriendly guide reveals how homebuilders can achieve similar results with the help of floor plans, detailed resource lists, explanations of the latest technology, and extensive photographs. The author shows that “building green” doesn’t have to be more expensive, and in fact, can lead to dramatic savings.
New Fiction for “Frosty February”
“The Dark Winter,” by David Mark. A series of suspicious deaths has rocked Hull, the old and mysterious English port city. The crimes are seemingly random and unconnected, but Detective Sergeant Aector McAvoy feels otherwise, unable to convince his fellow officers of his hunch. Compelled by his keen sense of justice, McAvoy decides to strike out alone, in the depths of the dark winter, on the hunt for a murderer. “Cold Days,” by Jim Butcher. Harry Dresden has been brought back to the mortal world after being the victim of a mystery assailant, but this time, he is no longer Chicago’s only professional wizard, he is Winter Knight to Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness. Now her word is his command, no matter what she wants him to do, no matter where she wants him to go, and no matter who she wants him to kill. “Great North Roadm,” by Peter F. Hamilton. A century from now, thanks to a technology allowing instantaneous travel across light-years, humanity has solved its energy shortages, cleaned up the environment, and created far-flung colony worlds. A murder case in the city of Newcastle Is under investigation by Detective Sidney Hurst, who realizes that the circumstances of the case bear an uncanny resemblance to a killing that took place years ago on the planet St. Libra. He uncovers the fact that Angela Tramelo, convicted of the old murder, has always claimed her innocence, insisting that the murderer of the entire household, headed by a North family clone, was an alien monster. Children who are registered in the library’s Winter Reading Club are reminded to log in their reading minutes daily and bring in the completed logs by March 1 to earn prizes. The Abington Community Library is located at 1200 W. Grove St., Clarks Summit. Visit our website, www.lclshome.org/abington to register online for events or call the library at (570) 587-3440.

Natalie Josephine Mennicucci and Daniel Steven Seeuwen will wed in August.
Couple plans Autumn wedding Mr. and Mrs. Domenic G. Mennicucci, Factoryville, announce the engagement and approaching marriage of their daughter, Natalie Josephine Mennicucci to Daniel Steven Seeuwen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Steven Seeuwen, Hawley. The bride-to-be is the granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Domenic Mennicucci and the late Mr. and Mrs. Casimir Zatorski. She is a 2003 graduate of Tunkhannock Area High School and a 2007 graduate of Marywood University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. She is currently completing her PostBaccalaureate teacher certification in the field of Art Education. She is employed at Rich Banick Photography studio, Dunmore. The prospective groom is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Adrianus Seeuwen of Hawley and the late Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hammer. He is a 2002 graduate of Wallenpaupack Area High School and a 2006 graduate of Pennsylvania College of Technology with a Bachelor of Manufacturing Engineering Technology and an Associate in Tool Making Technology. He is employed in the family business of Steer Machine Tool and Die, Honesdale. The couple met skiing at Elk Mountain and share their love of the great Pennsylvania outdoors. They have incorporated this into exchanging their vows and have planned a festive Autumn ceremony.
January is an infamous month known for its snowfall and frigid temperatures. This was proven when temperatures dropped into the negatives and inches of snowfall were received. However, this did not discourage Troop 160 from partaking in several scouting events this month. Merit badges are an important part of the scouting program. They educate scouts in a variety of skills and are as fun as they are helpful. Boy scouts do not always get the opportunity to earn all of the merit badges that they desire. King’s College in Wilkes-Barre hosted a merit badge college. The scouts spent a day at the campus taking several classes and earning numerous merit badges. This service is performed annually

and is an event used by a lot of boy scouts. Troop 160 was truly put to the test when they decided to engage themselves in a winter campout. Jan. 19 and 20 were spent braving cold temperatures at Camp Louise. This campground is located in Berwick. Eighteen scouts attended this trip along with some adults. The group was split into three patrols. During the day the scouts were busy going on hikes and collecting firewood. The patrols cooked their own meals and washed their own dishes. Lunch consisted of a ham and cheese sandwich wrapped in a foil pack. Foil packs are food wrapped in tinfoil so they can easily be warmed up by a campfire. Dinner was a beef stew and dessert was a delicious peach cobbler. The scouts were prepared and had all of their gear checked ahead of time. Also there was a cabin, which became the base camp that the scouts visited if they got cold. Everyone slept outside in tents and was lucky that this year the temperatures were a little warmer. In the mornings, tents were packed and homemade omelets were cooked. This trip is nicknamed the polar
bear camp-out and those who went will certainly understand the meaning. The month concluded with Troop 160 assisting its cub scout pack with their Pinewood Derby. Cub scouts are boys from grades 1 - 5. After this they will become boy scouts after a special ceremony. Every scout starts with the same kit, but their final creations are completely different. It is fun to watch the cars race and see all of the creative ideas that the scouts had. Troop 160 hosts the derby and operates it for the young scouts. This shows scout spirit and creates a good impression on future boy scouts. This is a fun event and is looked forward to each year. Scouting is about assisting others and performing community service. This month Troop 160 was able to participate in this principle by aiding the cub scouts. Remember, a scout is helpful. Tyler VanGorder has the rank of Eagle in Boy Scout Troop 160 from Clarks Summit. He is a junior at Abington Heights High School. For more information, visit troop160bsa.org.

a big part of our offense,” he said. “The kids love it because they know if they work hard and get open, they will get the ball.” Comets senior center Jason Bamford led the defensive effort with six blocked shots. “I try to step and give help when someone gets in
the lane,” he said. “Our defense really stepped up tonight.” Karlon Quiller led Scranton (17-4, 9-3) with 10 points and four assists. Phil Ash and Jake McCarthy each added six points for the Knights in a losing efSee Comets, Page 12

She was part of the number-one doubles pairing on a championship tennis team in the fall and was part of another championship last spring as a member of the track and field team. For now, their athletic concentration is on putting together their best swimming performances at the most important time of the season. That was the case Saturday with the unexpected relay win. “That relay win was really a surprise,” Gualtieri said. “We were in the slowest heat, but we went as fast as we could. “That feels good going into districts.” Abington Heights will look to advance more swimmers to the state meet when it competes in the District 2 Championships, this time as a Class AA school, the first weekend of March. “We’re really putting a lot of hours in the pool getting ready

fort. Scranton cut the Comets lead to 45-35 with 5:21 left in the fourth quarter, but Abington Heights scored the final 10 points of the game. Abington Heights will close its regular season with a home game against West Scranton Feb. 13 at 7:15 p.m.
The Abington Gators boys and girls teams recorded victories against the Scranton Sea Knights Jan. 19 at the Abington Heights High School pool. The boys won 137 -90 while the girls posted a 145 -07 victory. Boys with first place finishes were Brendan Conahan, Shane Cummings, Steven Dong, Mike Durr, Luke Gualtieri, Kevin Guditus, Dave Harshill, George Kwiecinski, Aidan Jordan,Zach Karabin, Connor Kryeski, Kevin Noldy, Connor Ocwieja, Joshua Przekop, Trevor Sablan, Dustin Salvigsen, Thomas Scott, William Stevens, William

for districts,” said Smertz, who provided the only individual title for Abington Heights Saturday with a win in the 100 backstroke. “It feels like we’re peaking at the right time.” Gualtieri made it to the state meet in three events last year, including being part of school record-setting efforts in the 200 medley and 200 freestyle relays. Smertz was also part of that winning medley relay. “It was so exciting, it was indescribable,” Gualtieri said of winning the breaststroke title as a freshman. “I think our team has a really good shot at medaling in a lot of events again. “I think we’re going to do pretty well.” The Lady Comets have several other key performers, who have contributed many of the points in a season where they are unbeaten in the division and have lost just once in dual competition overall. Those same leaders could lead the pursuit of district medals. Senior Kristie Furlosi and juniors Krista Brickel, Chloe Sweeney and diver/swimmer Annie Gromelski have been among the team leaders. “We really have a great core group of girls that bring in points every meet,” coach Gromelski said. Sweeney and Hannah Conahan joined Saturday’s winning relay effort. With district competition up next, Gualtieri likely can be found swimming the breaststroke and individual medley in addition to more relay efforts. Smertz could end up just about anywhere. “I put her in whatever I need her to do,” coach Gromelski said. “She’s just a very wellrounded swimmer.”

Holmes will play for Georgetown head field hockey coach Tiffany Marsh in the NCAA Div. I Big East Conference. A University of Maryland graduate, Marsh helped the Terrapins win their fourth
national title during her senior year and was named to the 2005 NCAA AllTournament team. Holmes also considered other schools such as Duke University, Davidson College and Richmond University. She chose Georgetown because of the university’s acclaimed academic programs and Marsh’s emphasis on the importance of high academic standards for athletes. “I’ve attended a field
hockey camp at Georgetown and was very impressed with Coach Marsh’s passion for the game,” she said. Holmes, a four-year varsity letter winner and starter on defense, was a member of the Blue Knights 2010 and 2011 state AA championship teams. Holmes, who plans to major in international health at Georgetown, is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Todd Holmes of Fleetville.

U of S relay teams set two school records The University of Scranton opened the evening’s round of finals by setting a school record in the 200 medley relay while finishing second in the 2013 Landmark Conference Swimming & Diving championship at Marywood University. The team of freshman Nicholas Hennig (Verona, N.J./Verona), junior
John Hughes (Lancaster/ Lancaster Catholic), senior Stephen Nicolosi (Clarks /Heights) and senior Andrew Urban (Ambler/Lansdale Catholic) finished in 1:36.38 to break the mark set at last year’s championships. Scranton also set a school record in the 400 medley relay when the
team of Mitchell Colby (Bernardsville, N.J./Bernards), Hughes, Nicolosi and sophomore Ryan Holmes (Clarks Green/ Scranton Preparatory) finished third in 3:33.30. They broke the previous school record of 3:33.71, which was set at the Landmark championships last season.

Theodore Anthony ‘Ted’ Fisher February 9, 2013
Theodore Anthony “Ted” Fisher, 87, of Clarks Summit, died Saturday, Feb. 9, at Abing-
ton Manor. His wife of 13 years is the former Ann E. Barrett. His first wife, the former Joan O’Donnell, died Dec. 16, 1998; the couple had been married more than 47 years. Born July 29, 1925, in Wilkes-Barre, he was the son of the late Anthony and Lottie Wisniewski Fisher. A graduate of Coughlin High School, Wilkes-Barre, he enlisted in the Navy during World War II immediately after high school at the age of 17. He honorably served 32 months, with 22 months in the Pacific theater. He was proud of the fact that by the age of 20, he was a signalman thirdclass aboard the USS Waukesha, a cargo attack transport supporting the occupation of Japan. He returned home in 1945 to study chemistry and engineering physics at King’s College, Wilkes-Barre. He transferred to Catholic University, D.C., where he received his Bachelor of Arts in mechanical engineering in 1951. He became a medal winning member of the Catholic University swim team. Ted began his professional career with General Electric in Philadelphia. He worked in the leading edge of aerospace technology in Lynn, Mass., and Baltimore, before returning to Clarks Summit in 1961. The engineering industry later took him to New York and Iowa, where he worked for 10 years at Cummins Engine Co. as a
manufacturing mechanical engineer until he retired. He was passionate about his work, and excelled at whatever project he engaged in. He loved “tinkering” with cars and was an enthusiastic amateur radio ham operator and a member of the local Amateur Radio Club. Another lifelong interest he had was airplanes, and he traveled to several air shows when he lived in the Midwest. He also enjoyed skiing, computers and staying informed on politics and current events. A devoted Catholic all his life, he was a faithful member of Our Lady of the Snows Church, Clarks Summit, and its Men’s Club. Also surviving are three daughters, Susan Browning and husband, Jim, Arvada, Colo.; Lisa Stiffler and husband, Charles, Waukesha, Wis.; and Nora Forte and husband, Garry, Fort Collins, Colo.; a sister, Gloria Potocek, Levittown; nine grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and two nephews. The funeral will be Thursday with Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. in Our Lady of the Snows Church, 301 S. State St., Clarks Summit. Interment, Clarks Green Cemetery. The family will receive relatives and friends, Wednesday, 4 to 7 p.m., at the Jennings-Calvey Funeral and Cremation Service Inc., 111 Colburn Ave., Clarks Summit. Memorial contributions may be made to Parkinson’s Council, P.O. Box 1948, Media, PA 19063. For more information, directions or to send an online condolence, visit www.jenningscalvey.com.
Thomas G. Kohut February 3, 2013
Thomas G. Kohut, 71, of Simpson, died Sunday, Feb. 3, at home. He was the husband of the late Kathryn J. Zavislak, who died Feb. 15, 1989. The couple had been married more than 21 years. Born May 18, 1941, in Simpson he was the son of the late Metro and Mary Gombita Kohut. He moved to Simpson in 2011 after living with his son in Exeter and residing in Dalton. He was educated in Simpson schools and was a was a 1959 graduate of Fell High School. He honorably served in the Air Force during the Vietnam War and was awarded the Air Medal for combat support missions under extremely hazardous conditions. He retired from Procter & Gamble, Washington Twp., where he was employed as a supervisor, and later he worked as a security guard. He was a member of St. Rose of Lima Parish, St. Michael’s Church and Throop VFW Post 7251 and was a past quartermaster. Surviving are two sons, Thomas J. and wife, Regina, Exeter; and Ronald K. and wife, Sara, Olyphant; two sisters, Rose Kohut, Simpson; and Dolores Puchalski, with
whom he resided; a granddaughter, Jade Kohut, and a grandson, Gage Kohut, both of Exeter; nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by a brother, Metro Kohut Jr. To send an online condolence, visit www.jennings calvey.com.

Rotary collecting donations PEANUT BUTTER OR POWDERED MILK? Rotarians recently began collecting jars of peanut butter and boxes of powdered milk as donations to the Dalton Food Pantry. Winter is a hard time for many trying to make ends meet and this is one way for Rotarians to reach out to the less fortunate. Rotarians will be collecting peanut butter, dried milk and other non-perishables for the Pantry until their meeting Thursday, Feb. 14.

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL (RI) THEME ANNOUNCED
President-elect Ron Burton will ask Rotarians to Engage Rotary, Change Lives OURABINGTONS.ORG in 2013-14. A new group has formed in Burton unveiled the RI the Abingtons that Rotary, theme at the 2013 InternationAbington Lions Club and al Assembly in San Diego, other area civic groups and California. He stated, “If we club have joined. The purpose really want to take Rotary of this group is to encourage service forward, then we must collaboration between groups on community-wide projects and to provide a platform so that everyone knows of major events being planned so we don’t trip over one another. For more information on how to join, contact Rotary President John Hambrose. GRANT WRITING
make sure that every Rotarian has a meaningful role to play, that they’re all making a contribution, and that their contributions valued.” At Assembly, Burton asked incoming governors to make a donation to The Rotary Foundation to demonstrate leadership by example, and $675,412 was collected. While Burton had been an active member of the Key Club (a youth program of Kiwanis International), he joined Rotary because some-
one from the Rotary Club of Norman, Oklahoma, invited him to become a member. In conclusion, I’m asking: would you like to learn more about Rotary and what we do? Join us any Thursday at 12:10 p.m. for lunch. Lunch will be our treat and our meeting will give you an opportunity to see how much fun you can have while helping improve our community.
Members of the Inn at Nichols Village staff were recently recognized for their dedicated service to Rotary club. Standing, from left, are: Jared Depew, President John Hambrose, Travis Zarnoff, Kaitey Garverick, Sean Alfred and President-elect Bob Vielee.
