HONESDALE, PA — “These kids will go far, and we’re happy to help them on their journey!” said Sherry Grandinetti, co-president of Honesdale Rotary about Wayne Highlands Middle School students in the school’s Science Olympiad club. Honesdale Rotary donated approximately $700 to the club for a new laptop, something one of their advisors, Kelly O’Neill said was desperately needed if the students were to compete with other schools. Honesdale Rotary raises funds from various events, including the annual Wine Garden during Honesdale’s Roots & Rhythm Music & Arts Festival in June, the Pet Paw-rade and the upcoming first-ever Beer & Wine Festival at the Wayne County Fairgrounds on September 23, 2023.  Part of Rotary International, a service club which counts more than a million members globally, Honesdale Rotary has close to 40 members. Other local projects include painting the Fred Miller Pavilion on Honesdale’s Main Street and funding new shelves for the Wayne County Food Pantry. New members welcome.
