New Lawrenceville Spkr Rodney Camren from Rotary Club of Lawrenceville on Vimeo.

On April 9 Rodney Lee Camren explained to the members of the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville what role the networking group “New Lawrenceville” plays in developing the Lawrenceville community.  The non-profit group began as a networking group of local businesses on the Square and has grown to a much wider base of volunteers of varied interests, not just businesses.  There is no charge for belonging to the group; all membership requires is a commitment to making Lawrenceville a better community.  He outlined four activities of the group:  (1) They maintain an email list and send out weekly announcements about matters of interest to the community, from city functions to local school activities. (2) They provide free trolley tours on the Lawrenceville Trolley on Sunday afternoons from April to June.  A local historian comments on places and names of historic interest as the trolley progresses around town. (3) They sponsor the Fall Festival on the Courthouse Square. (4) They sponsor the St. Patrick’s Day Festival, their largest event which drew 6,000 visitors downtown this year.  Funds from their events go to community service groups.  Their website is http://www.NewLawrenceville.com
