A Rotarian for over 50 years, Joseph Powell joined Rotary in 1969. His daughter Lisa Powell Fortna standing to his left has been a member of the Rotary Club of Dunkirk-Fredonia since 2016. Most recently the father-daughter duo have been joined by a third generation Powell - Jane Fortna, who just so happens to be a collegiate summer intern at Prevention Works, under the supervision of Executive Director Melanie Witkowski. President Mel, who stepped up as a new Rotarian to be President Elect, now holds the highest office in the Dunkirk-Fredonia club.
isa says, "Thursdays are for Rotary!" Perhaps Jane will stay true to the family tradition and become a Rotaractor? Stay tuned for the next chapter or join the Powell-Fortna family and Dunkirk-Fredonia Rotarians the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month, in person or via Zoom, to hear the rest of this Rotary story!
