The 47th Annual Mayor's Community Breakfast took place Wednesday, May 26th
The virtual platform did not dampen our spirit of unity and of - as this year's theme attests - hope and joy! Our community and our resolve is strong as we emerged from the veil of covid.
A highlight of this event was the presentation of three $1,000 scholarship awards made by the Rotary Club of Newton to graduating seniors. These three students were chosen by their schools because of their commitment to improving the world around them by mobilizing their classmates in themes of social justice. Our Club became involved in this event right from the start because our dear longtime member - may he rest in peace - Tony Bibbo was the chief architect of this event, pouring his heart and soul into it.

We thank Jack Prior for his Marathon fundraising efforts both last year and this year as he raises the funds needed to award these and other scholarships that our Club proudly awards.
Our 2021 Bibbo Scholarship recipients are Imani Fonfield, David Morefield, and Kori-Reign Tyler.
