What do Matt McHugh of Columbia High School, Jolene Bell of Rensseler High School, and Micheala Mueller of Maple Hill High School have in common?

Each will receive a $1,000 “Student Citizenship Award” from the Southern Rensselaer County Rotary Club at our 6:15 p.m. Thursday meeting this week at Quigley’s. And, each will be bringing along some guests, so we’re expecting a full house. As always, the more the merrier.

In addition, our program will feature Jim Butterworth, Kendle Butterworth, and Jennifer Horn speaking on the student leadership programs developed by CASDA (Capital Area School Development Association) where Jim is the executive director.

Your RSVPs for dinner are requested no later than this Tuesday to Debbie Brown via email (mdbrown@nycap.rr.com).

The menu calls for Quigley’s popular spiral-sliced ham, vegetables, salad, bread, dessert, and beverages. As always, the cash bar is available for pre-meeting conviviality. Please remember the meal price now is $18 per person, and it would be appreciated if you’d bring singles to help Treasurer Murray Forth make change.
