The Hamburg Sunrise Rotary Club recently hosted their annual Grade Improvement Luncheon at Ilio DiPaolos Restaurant in Blasdell to recognize students in our local high schools who have shown improvement from the previous year. This year’s guest speaker was Carib from Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA). He educated us with the amazing volunteer work they do to empower children of abuse to feel safe in the world we live in. The court systems are overwhelming to children, and they provide them with the support they need. Also, each year our club recognizes students from local schools with a breakfast and a scholarship. This year’s recipients are pictured below with our President Sue Harrington. Matthew Stepniak from St. Francis High School and Haley Piwko from Frontier High School. Congratulations to both and best of luck in your future endeavors.
