Rotary Rendezvous – Dan Dye August 28th Rotary Rendezvous
Those of you who were here last week will not soon forget the powerful story told by Kayla Schneider, who was sexually abused by a 42-year-old police officer and firefighter when she was 12. Our speaker at Rotary Rendezvous next week is the attorney who prosecuted her case and got Kayla’s abuser sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison.
At the time Dan Dye was an Assistant District Attorney in Lancaster County. Today he is a Senior Deputy Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He was the lead prosecutor for the grand jury investigation into child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.
Dan will join us for Rotary Rendezvous next Wednesday, August 28, at 5:30 p.m. at Stoner Grill at Overlook Park in Manheim. He’ll be talking about the Lancaster County Children’s Alliance and how its processes hold abusers accountable while helping victims begin to heal. Come for drinks at 5. The program will start at 5:30. If you want, stay for dinner afterward. It promises to be a fascinating conversation.
Dan is a graduate of Kent State University and Penn State Dickinson School of Law. He lives in Lancaster County with his wife and two children.
