Two local college students, Sweeta Rasiyan, a student at Penn State York, and Charlie Green, a student at York College of Pennsylvania, were honored at our March 22nd meeting with the 2023 College Service Awards. These students were selected because they exemplify the Rotary International motto of putting service to others above one's own interests.
