MEDINA – Several members of Medina Rotary recently visited Iroquois Job Corps. This included Cindy Hewitt, Bill Bixler, Dawn Meland, club president Peter Bartula and Gloria Brent.
Their purpose was to bring together business, professional leaders and community members in order to provide humanitarian service in the community and workplace and to advance goodwill and peace.
Job Corps Center director Dennis Essom and operations director John Thomas have both become members of Medina Rotary and invited the group to visit the Center.
Job Corps is planning on making friendship benches for Medina Rotary, which will be placed throughout Medina. Locations have not yet been chosen or details worked out, Thomas said.
Thomas added that Iroquois Job Corps and Medina Rotary are planning several community service projects in the near future.
