Rotary at the Rochester Chamber’s AM Espresso
 
SPARK, the Children's Museum of Rochester, recently hosted AM Espresso, a networking event in partnership with the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce.  Heather Nessler, SPARK's executive director, is a member of the Rochester Risers Rotary Club.  Rochester Risers members Jolene and Alan Hansen and Jerome Ferson, The Rotary Club of Rochester member Audrey Betcher, and Greater Rochester Rotary member Andy Thilges attended the event representing the Rotary Clubs of Rochester. The event brought together a mix of local business and community leaders for meaningful conversations, fresh coffee and pastries, and an energizing start to the day. Attendees had the opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and explore SPARK’s interactive exhibits, highlighting their mission to engage families in the joy of play and learning. With a fantastic turnout, the event buzzed with collaboration and excitement, reinforcing the power of community connections in Rochester.
