One of the Princeton Corridor Rotary’s signature projects is providing 6 high school students from 3 local high schools with college scholarships. Every week we collect “Happy Dollars” from the members and all proceeds go to these scholarships. The Princeton Corridor Rotary would like to thank Chris Scerbo of Morgan Sayre State Farm Insurance for their generous donation to the scholarships. Thank you so much Chris!
It is a special day when we can induct a new members into our club. Mitushi Pitti became a new member last Friday, our seventh this term so far.
Our President, Matt Drago, conducted the ceremony, with members and guests standing and applauding for our newest member. Mitushi was given her Rotary pin by fellow new member Jackie Owiti. At that moment, Mitushi became the newest Rotarian on Earth and we welcome her to our growing Rotary family. Best of luck on a successful journey of service.
Our club's Foundation is a proud member of the Princeton Mercer Regional Chamber of Commerce. At every luncheon they generously host several non-profit members so that lunch attendees can get to know the local non-profit organizations.
Our Foundation attended the meeting on March 5. Very well attended with many attendees stopping by for a chat. Several of our members were on hand to talk about Rotary and the positive impact we have on our local community. Great event and we look forward to future luncheons to talk about Rotary.
