NEWBURYPORT — The Greater Newburyport Chamber of Commerce and Industry will host their monthly breakfast speaker series on Thursday, June 2. Guest speaker will be Marc Kerble, Newburyport School superintendent. The topic of his presentation will be "It takes a Great Community to make Great Schools."
The June Breakfast Speaker Series is being sponsored by Strem Chemical in support of the Newburyport Education Foundation.
The mission of the Newburyport Education Foundation (NEF) is to bring philanthropy into the Newburyport Public Schools and generate financial resources that will enhance the quality of public education throughout the school system. Formed to enhance educational opportunities for the city's public school children, the goal of the Newburyport Education Foundation is to supplement funding for programs that are already supported by public financing at a basic level, but which can be substantially improved by additional private sector financing, and to finance programs that might not receive funding from traditional sources such as the district budget or state aid.
At this meeting the Greater Newburyport Community Center Foundation will announce the recipients of their Technical Scholarship Awards.
The breakfast is scheduled from 7:30-9 a.m. at the Phoenix Room, 19 Inn St., Newburyport. A continental breakfast will be served to all who attend; reservations are required. Admission is $15 for chamber members and $25 for non-members. To reserve a seat, call the chamber at 978-462-6680.
