Today's program was Mentoring Day with Gary in charge.  We had placements for 18 students, and many of the hosts came to lunch with the students, also Interact Club advisor Della McPherson.  A wide range of occupations was explored, and each in attendance gave some observations of their day.  Rotarian hosts were Frank Santisi, Mitch Dalvin, and Dr. Bob Kerpsack.

President Michael Cafaro called the meeting to order, with prayer, pledge and God Bless America by Gary Reel.

Visitor: Visiting Rotarian was Jim Jickiss from Struthers.
 
Song leader: Mitch Dalvin, guess what, 4 part round of Row, Row, Row Your Boat, sounded great with almost 40 people in the room.
