OUR SPEAKERS
 
 
This week, we welcome Mr. Henry Frischknecht and his students from Bulkeley Middle School.
The seventh grade civics class students are working together to create a free fridge for those with food insecurity in Rhinebeck and surrounding areas. They shared that there are a lot of people who are interested in helping and want to make a positive impact in our community. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We all agree that Bill Persky was a FANTASTIC and captivating speaker last week.
We have welcomed him back to speak with us again.
 
What a joy!
