For the second year in a row the Corning Rotary Club presented the annual Regional Spelling Bee held March 7th at the Campbell-Savona Senior High School. This year a record 53 conteststants competed for a trip to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington DC on May 28 and 29.

 

 
The winner was Sriram Hathwar, a 9th grade student at the Alternative School for Math and Science in Corning. Sriram won last year’s competition as well. He wins an all expense paid trip to the national competition.
 
A team of Rotarians supported the event including Deb Joseph (organizer), Dick Pope (organizer), Wendy Winnett, Pauline Emory, Nancy Shaffer, Bill Boland and Micele Donegan (Judge.) Thanks also to Trish Rossettie (niece of Rotarian Mike Rossettie) for 'beeing' willing to help out.
