Super Kids Day!!
 
February 8, 2025
 
I am still looking for churches and other organizations to man a table and provide an activity at the event.  I would like 20 stations for this.  There is no charge to the organization.  They must just provide their materials needed.  
 
So far we have the following groups participating:
 
Interact

Please reach out to Ronnie if you are interested in volunteering or would like to participate.

On December 23rd, we had a dynamic group from DYPAC entertain the members.  It was amazing!  Thanks, Debbie Jackson and Mary Zaleski, for making the arrangements!
 
 
 
 
Family Christmas Party
 
We had a full house at our Trenton Rotary Christmas party on December 23rd.  It was so nice to see so many family members join us.  A HUGE thank you to Matt & Jackie Hatty for donating gifts for the goody bags, Debbie & Noel Jackson for donating presents for the kids and to the DYPAC performers for providing entertainment.  Looking at all the smiles, it was obvious everyone had a great time!
