Jenniffer Albanese, Executive Director of ICO (Interfaith Community Outreach), had the distinct pleasure of speaking at the First Flight Rotary Club meeting where she discussed the vital role of community service and collaboration in helping individuals facing crisis. Albanese shared ICO’s core mission of ensuring that no one faces a crisis alone, a message that strongly resonates with the Rotary Club’s guiding principle of “Service Above Self.”

The First Flight Rotary Club has long been committed to making a positive impact on the community, exemplifying the Rotary motto through countless volunteer efforts, donations, and service projects. In her address, Albanese highlighted the importance of coming together as a community to support those in need and the power of collective action in alleviating the struggles faced by individuals during their most challenging moments.

“Our work at ICO aligns directly with the Rotary’s spirit of service. We believe that no one should ever face a crisis without support, and the First Flight Rotary Club’s commitment to serving others exemplifies the very essence of our mission,” said Jenniffer Albanese. “We are deeply grateful for the Rotary’s continued support of our efforts, and together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of many.”

The meeting also included a special recognition for Kearns Lowman, who was presented with the next level Paul Harris Fellow Recognition Pin. This prestigious award honors those who have made extraordinary contributions to The Rotary Foundation, further exemplifying Kearns’ dedication to service and philanthropy. “Congratulations to Kearns Lowman on receiving the Paul Harris Fellow Recognition Pin,” Albanese continued. “This recognition speaks volumes about your dedication to service and your ongoing efforts to make our community a better place for all.”

The First Flight Rotary Club’s partnership with ICO, as well as the continued support of its members like Kearns Lowman, will continue to strengthen the community and ensure that those in crisis are never left to face their challenges alone.
