Thank you Union Rotary for allowing me to come and share information about the Achieve Program with you. It was truly my pleasure.

We had another great Rotary Club of Union meeting on Tuesday!

Our guest speaker was Melanie Hughes, Director of the Achieve Program, who shared with our club about the important work the program is doing to support individuals in our community and help them reach their goals.

We appreciate Melanie taking the time to join us and share her passion for the Achieve Program. Learning more about the people, programs, and organizations serving Union County is one of the things that makes our Rotary meetings so meaningful.

Rotary is about bringing people together, building relationships, and putting Service Above Self into action.

Interested in Rotary? Come be our guest! We’d love to have you join us for a meeting, meet our members, and learn how you can get involved in making a difference in Union County. Send us a message to learn more!

Thank you, Melanie, for being part of our meeting and for the work you do in our community!
