The agenda was the Annual Recognition Program honoring students from Barberton and Norton Schools in the Four Cities Compact Program. The program started with a short Rotary meeting lead by Club President, Tom Craig. Tom introduced those in attendance to the Rotary tradition of "Happy Dollars" -a dollar will buy one an opportunity to share with others in attendance why they are happy today. Many dollars were collected to recognize the achievements of the students, their parents, teachers and guidance counselors.
