Our Meeting of October 18th was the official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Centennial Park in Bethlehem. I want to thank all of the members who attended the ceremony, and also the BAVTS students who painted the mural and were on hand for the ceremony.
We first heard from Justin Daniels an 11th grader who is our Artisan the month. He was introduced by his teacher Sergio Rivas, and he spoke to us about his experience at BAVTS.
The ceremony was held outside after lunch, and after PP Mike McGovern gave us a rundown of the history of the project, Brennan Pursell, who chaired the committee, thanked everyone on the committee for their dedication and hard work, as well as the other members who financially supported the project. The project was made possible by a donation from Bethlehem Rotary, and a District Grant which was written by Deb Geiger. Special thanks go to Diane Donaher, Mike Dunn, Deb Geiger, Cindy Glick, Mike McGovern, Pete Mickolay, all of whom served on the committee and contributed hours of physical labor. Thanks also to PP Gail Evans who inspired the project (and contributed physical labor), and to Brennan Pursell for his leadership in bringing the whole effort to a successful conclusion.
Jane Persa, who spoke on behalf of mayor Donchez, congratulated our club on the project, and noted that our city is anxious to support us in helping to complete these types of projects.
Next week’s speaker will be Adam Lazarchak, Executive Director of the Bethlehem Area Vocational Technical School.
