Rotary welcomes new member

SPECIAL TO THE VINDICATOR The Rotary Club of Youngstown welcomed its newest member, Carol Rimedio Righetti, Mahoning County Commissioner, above, at its Jan. 8 meeting. She is the first new member of 2014. Righetti was welcomed to the club by Scott Schulick, president, on the right, and her sponsor is Richard Hahn, on the left. Hahn has been soliciting Righetti’s membership for seven years, and the deciding factor was the Operation Warm project last year, which provided coats for children at Harding Elementary School and several other schools in the city. Righetti said that after experiencing what Rotary does in the community, she knew she wanted to be involved in the organization.
