The Brattleboro Rotary Club recently inducted Cindy Jerome as its 61st club president for the 2010-2011 club year. Jerome is the executive director of Holton Home, a nonprofit residential care home in Brattleboro that has served the community's elders since 1892.

Rotary club members serving as officers with Jerome this year are: President-Elect Liz Harrison of Nutrition Education Services, Treasurer Norb Johnston of NBJ Management and Financial Services, Secretary Marty Cohn of Cohn Public Relations, Vice President Rick Manson of The Richards Group, and Past President Jeff Morse of River Valley Credit Union.

A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and with a master's from Antioch University New England, she has worked in the nonprofit human services world for more than 20 years, including seven years at Kurn Hattin Homes and 11 years at Holton Home.

Jerome was a Dummerston Selectboard member for seven years and on the Brattleboro Food Co-op Board, chairing both for several years. She is also a Corporator of Brattleboro Memorial Hospital and serves on Rotary's Gateway Foundation Board. Jerome and her husband, Peter Wrenn, and children, Ben and Jesse, live in Dummerston.
