The Rotary Club of Welsh met on Nov. 14 and the guests were fifth graders (shown below, from left) Davonni Brown, Kynnedy Nunn and Sophie Ramagos, who led the pledge. J’ani Pitre and Ryland Pitre, both seniors at Welsh High, spoke to the members about their recent trip to Boys/Girls State. The Rotary Club wrote a grant and raised money to buy 20 VHF pagers for the fire department. These were presented to John Hall, Fire Chief (above, center). Pictured with John Hall are Dave Lejeune (left), Past President and Pat Deshotel (right), club President. John is holding one of the pagers.
