Rotary Why: Randy Sweeney – not a lot different from other members. Joined Rotary in 1999 after visiting our club and others in the community. Looking for relationships with people I did not know. Did not expect but made a lot of friends in addition to the relationships. This made Rotary all the better. Thank you to everyone in this club for what they do in the community. For new members, look around and make new friends as well!
Slapshot 2021: Chris Anderson introduced Emma Anderson and Maddie DeJoy who attended this year’s Slapshot virtually. Maddie, who represented Jamestown High School, shared that Slapshot enabled her to learn more communications skills and hone her critical thinking skills. Maddie met a lot of great people. Emma, who represented Southwestern High School, learned about a growth mindset and being able to change your thinking. This is something in particular that has resonated with her from the experience. Both Maddie and Emma met many wonderful people from the country and from Canada in particular. Both were very thankful for the opportunity and appreciated the sponsorships from the Rotary Club of Jamestown. Great job girls!
