Hackettstown Rotary Foundation to Name Warren County Technical School Scholarship in Memory of Longtime Executive Director of The Arc of Warren County Foundation and Rotary Member

Starting this Spring, The Hackettstown Rotary Club will be sponsoring a $1,000 annual scholarship for a graduating senior from Warren County Technical School named in memory of Hackettstown Rotary Club member, Kevin Guyette. This is a new scholarship that is made possible as a result of fundraising efforts by The Hackettstown Rotary Club. The Club currently sponsors two annual scholarships to seniors graduating from Hackettstown High School.

The Kevin McCall Guyette “Mover and Shaker” Memorial Scholarship named for Guyette who, at the time of her passing in 2018, was a vibrant member of the Hackettstown Rotary Club and former Executive Director of The Arc of Warren County Foundation.

In business and in life, Kevin was known far and wide in this region as a person who loved to connect those who would benefit from knowing each other. Kevin had an amazingly clever wit and she was always willing to roll up her sleeves to get the job done – often with plenty of warm laughter and a never-ending supply of interesting stories.

This scholarship is open to any male or female Warren County Technical School graduating senior who will be pursuing trade school, two-year college, or directly entering the workforce to begin their chosen profession. The applicant must demonstrate proficiency in organized or informal peer leadership and must be active in community service. The ideal candidate will be considered an enthusiastic motivator among their peers, a person who values integrity and loyalty to their cause(s) and someone who is always willing to step up for tasks that will benefit others.

“I am so pleased that The Hackettstown Rotary Club will be able to provide this scholarship to a deserving student from Warren County Technical School,” says Laurie Rapisardi, President of The Hackettstown Rotary Club. “It is a wonderful way to also honor Kevin’s memory, as she made such a positive impact on the lives of those who had the benefit of knowing and working with her.”

Interested candidates can reach out to Warren County Technical School for further information about application guidelines.

Learn how our club supports curing blindness in Ghana

Thank you to all those that were able to come out recently to the Hackettstown Rotary event to learn about the Himalayan Cataract Project for curing blindness.

Guests above, are from left, Dr. Benedicta Louisa Appiah-Thompson, leading ophthalmologist at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, in Ghana. Phyllis Mhango in company with Dr. Thompson.

Early this past October, her team hosted high-volume surgical outreach with support of the Himalayan Cataract Project (HCP) to restore sight to hundreds of individuals who had lost their vision to cataracts. At the end of five days, the team of five surgeons set a new national record in Ghana of 713 sight-restoring surgeries.

Rotarians, and guests, from left to right, Craig Newton, Craig Stroud, Dr. Thompson, Norman Worth, Laurie Rapisardi, Jim Sheldon, Bruno Gubelmann, Linda Poisseroux, Norman Jensen, and Diana Fox.
