A celebratory luncheon was held at Lenny’s Seafood & Steakhouse on November 4, 2022. The award recognizes MHS students for their initiative, leadership and creative pursuit of making a difference in their local community and beyond.

Club President Lester Nathan welcomed members and guests, followed by Past-President Marion Anderson. Marian White, Club Rotary Foundation Chair, introduced the students’ faculty advisor, Dr. Joseph Liberti. He began the civic advocacy program at MHS in 2016, which students join their freshman year and then identify, structure and execute a project, over their four years. They are paired with Community Mentors and even raise funds from investors.
