Highlights of the past month for Buffalo Sunrise feature several new Rotary guests and members. We are pleased to welcome Alix Hougardy, inbound RYE student from Belgium, as she begins her school year at City Honors.Alix and President Jill listened to a fascinating presentation from soon to be member Wahid Sanjar. Wahid, a professor at American University of Afghanistan, spoke about the challenges of educating girls, most of whom are forced to end their education at age 12. He emphasized the good work of the University to counter this most difficult circumstance.
Closer to home, our Treasurer Jeff Lebsack, shows off the new Little Library, which will soon be installed at Towpath Park and will be filled with child-focused books. We look forward to a final cleanup at our section of the Niagara River Greenway Trail and pollinator garden, an attractive feature for the many residents and visitors to the area.
Our newest member, Anita Lakareber was inducted and warmly welcomed by President Jill. Anita gave an inspiring response expressing the honor of becoming a Rotarian in our club.
