On September 12, the Rotary Clubs of Carlisle and Carlisle Sunrise hosted and sponsored in partnership with Venue and Special Event Sponsor Dickinson College's Popel Shaw Center and its A.C.E. Peer Mentor program one of the most successful and innovative District 7390 RMB events since its inception in 2014. Some 34 Rotarians and guests from six district clubs (Carlisle, Carlisle Sunrise, Hershey, Mechanicsburg-North, D7390 Passport, and West Shore) and roughly 15 A.C.E. Peer Mentor students gathered to network, make connections and enjoy the fun and fellowship of RMB. The A.C.E. Peer Mentor program seeks to assist incoming first year students adjust to campus life with the help of the sophomore, junior and senior year students.
Special kudos to the work of Travis Soprano and Kim Lockwood in explaining Rotary and what it does in the world. The A.C.E. Peer Mentors Senior Coordinator, Isaiah Banuelos Class of 2025, helped Rotarians understand what the A.C.E. Student Mentor program does to help incoming first year students. He did a wonderful job and showed great enthusiasm and belief in the value of the program. PDG Alden Cunningham talked briefly about the Vision and Purpose of RMB and its evolution from its beginning in 1905. Dr. Yvette Davis also took a few moments to further explain the A.C.E. Mentor Program and the Popel Shaw Center's mission within Dickinson College. DGE Mary Brunski did a fabulous and very innovative job running the Circle exercise for what was a very large group of roughly 50 Rotarians and Students. She made the Circle fun for all. Carol Cunningham as the event photographer took some special photos of the event and its various phases.
All in all a very special time was enjoyed by everyone. Thank you to all involved. Our next RMB event will take place in November hosted by the Rotary Club of Hershey. Stay tuned for future announcements regarding this event.
