The Rotary Club of Bradford officially began its 2026–2027 Rotary year during its Annual Meeting held on July 22 at The Penn Hills Club. The evening celebrated new leadership, welcomed a new member, and recognized the continued commitment of Rotarians to serving the Bradford community.

 Immediate Past President Heidi Scrivo called the meeting to order before leading the traditional ringing of the Rotary bell and recitation of Rotary’s Four-Way Test. Following dinner and fellowship, Scrivo reflected on the accomplishments of the past year and thanked members for their dedication and support.

 A highlight of the evening was the installation of the club’s new officers. Heidi Scrivo officially inducted Steve Morgan as President for the 2026–2027 Rotary year. Morgan begins his second term as club president, bringing with him previous leadership experience and a continued commitment to advancing the club’s service projects and community impact.

 President Morgan then administered the oath of office to the remaining members of the club’s leadership team, including Ben Kirsch as Vice President and Dave Gatesman as Treasurer and President-Elect.

 The club also welcomed Michelle Hatch as its newest member. During the induction ceremony, President Morgan officially presented Hatch with her Rotary pin and welcomed her into the fellowship of Rotary. Members look forward to the enthusiasm and service she will bring to the organization.

 The Bradford Rotary Club extends its sincere appreciation to The Penn Hills Club for hosting this year’s Annual Meeting. The outstanding hospitality, excellent meal, and welcoming atmosphere helped make the evening a memorable celebration as the club looks ahead to another year of service above self.

 With new leadership in place and a growing membership, the Rotary Club of Bradford is excited to continue serving the community through local projects, scholarships, youth programs, and humanitarian initiatives throughout the coming year.
