ROTARY HOSTS REALITY FAIR AT CCHS

On April 8, close to 300 Concord Carlisle High students filed into the lower gym to be met by 45 community volunteers, all anxious to help the students hone their financial expertise by trying to balance their living expenses within a randomly assigned salary.  Organized by Concord Rotarian Ana Pantazi, High School English Teacher Dana Graham who serves as Coordinator of the Advisory Program and Concord's Youth Services Coordinator Jennifer Clarke, the event required a lot of planning and the use of many volunteers. Among the volunteers were Rotarians, bankers, financial planners, realtors, parents, members of the Community Chest, town officials, Business Network members, and friends. The Rotary Club of Concord thanks everyone for their enthusiastic participation in this important educational event.
