Two Hazleton Rotarians Assist with Junior Achievement Program
At the Hazleton Middle School, aka “The Castle”, two Hazleton Rotarians, Anne Frey and Jessica Spare, gave their volunteer time to teach breakout sessions with 7th and 8th grade students as part of the Y.E.S. (Your Economic Success) Program sponsored by Junior Achievement. This program would not be possible without community volunteers, such as Jessica and Anne. 30 volunteers were needed in order to make the program happen in Hazleton.

Fond memories of a “sweet” Christmas blessing By Pat Korb:
Fond memories of a “sweet” Christmas blessing By Pat Korb:When I think of Christmas and tradition, I fondly think of Grandma Mary Trubisky and her honey jar. When I was a youngster, we spent every Christmas Eve at my grandparents’ Ohio home. As soon as you walked in, Grandma brought her honey jar and gave you a Christmas blessing by “painting” the sign of the cross on your forehead with the honey.
