At the January 14 meeting, new member Racheal Solida was officially inducted as the newest Rotarian. Racheal is employed by First Place Bank and is sponsored by Susan Leetch, branch manager of the new Austintown location, who is also a Rotarian.
Shown in the picture is President Karl Rein, Racheal Solida, and Chuck Baker, who performed the ceremony.
Speaker at the meeting was Mr. Michael Woods, principal of Woodside Elementary School in Austintown, who was joined by librarian Diane Senedak. Woods thanked the Rotary Club for choosing his building to receive library books, donated in the names of other Rotary weekly speakers in their honor. He noted that every library needs new and interesting books to supplement those that become worn or out of date. He also thanked Rotarians Eric Newton and Gary Reel for their volunteer efforts as part of the Ohio Reads program at Woodside.
The Rotary Club of Austintown is preparing for its once annual fund raising Reverse Raffle on March 1 at the Maronite Center. Tickets are still available from chairs Lisa Oles and Dr. Michael Cafaro, and the Chinese Auction is being headed by Melissa and Harvey Crowley.
