November’s Student of the Month was Alex Short. He is planning to major in biomedical engineering and has an additional interest in pre-law. Alex has participated in activities such as Mock Trial, Student Council, and the Interact Club. He was accompanied to lunch by his mother and his grandfather.

December brought Devin Fine as the Student of the Month. He is planning to attend the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown campus with a major in biology. Devin also hopes to attend medical school. He has participated in Students Against Destructive Decisions, Student Council, Interact, the STEM club, and has served on the Yearbook Staff. Devin has also worked at the Fancy Paws Pet Resort which is his family’s business. Devin was joined at the lunch by his mother.

Past District Governor Tom Uram was the guest speaker for November’s meeting of the Charleroi, Belle Vernon, and Donora clubs. He spoke about Civil War hero General James McPherson. According to the book Forgotten Hero, by Francis Gestner, General McPherson was General Ulysses S. Grant’s right-hand man, and was the second-highest ranking Union officer killed in the Civil War.

Fundraising activities were held by the Interact Club and by Rotarians during the holidays. Sponsor Jessica Fritch and the Interact Club sponsored “Tailgate for Toys.” The event was held in December in the high school/middle school complex. Activities included a Chinese auction and all proceeds were used to benefit students within the Charleroi Area School District. Charleroi Rotarians also supported those in need by ringing the bell for the Salvation Army. The club thanks all who donated and the Riverhouse for allowing them to stand outside their restaurant to collect for this worthy cause.

As a reminder, the Charleroi Rotary Club meets every Wednesday at the Back Porch restaurant in Lower Speers. Meetings begin at 12:05 and are held in the Side Door Lounge. For membership or program information, please contact Mike Rupert at 412-422-4202 or John Helfenstein at 724-494-3195.
