LHA grad, Jim Rodgers, served up
some great brew at the Appalachian Brewing Company's Camp Hill location on
Wednesday night, August 19th. No, he didn't take a job behind the bar; he rolled
up his sleeves as a Guest Bartender and donated all of his tips to Leadership
Harrisburg Area for scholarships for the Class of 2010. Jim graduated from the
Community Leadership Series in May 2009 and wanted to ensure that others can
follow in his footsteps without financial barriers.
A total of $1,156.53 was
raised through tips and a matching gift from the Capital City Mall.
Thank you to all of the
thirsty LHA alums and friends who came out in support of Jim! Thank you to the
Appalachian Brewing
Company for making this event possible and thank you to the Capital City Mall
for doubling Jim's efforts.
LHA
received over $8,000 in scholarship requests for the Community Leadership Series
this year. Support from Wachovia Bank, Harrisburg Young Professionals, and the
Guest Bartender event helped LHA issue a portionof the
requested funds for the Class of 10. If you were unable to attend the
happy hour, but would still like to support LHA, please visit our website at
