On Thursday, April 3rd, our signature project, the Rockford Rotary Academy was featured. Linda Johnson hosted the program and used her teacher persona to give us a Rotary Academy history lesson through a quiz. Most of the answers were pretty straight forward except for "how long has the Academy been in operation". Answers varied but the Academy started in 2002 which would make this the 23rd year. But there was a year off due to COVID. All that really matters is that the Academy started in 2002 and at the time some members felt is would be a success if it lasted 5 years.
