At Tuesday’s Rotary Club of Carbondale-Breakfast meeting at Cristaudo’s, an announcement was made that it was Bike Month. And then the president of the club added that during the meeting a bike rider who was biking across the country had parked his bike outside and was in the bakery adjacent to our meeting room. He encouraged us to chat with him on our way out.
And that I did, especially after I saw his Kappa Alpha athletics shirt. James Rosenberg, a member of Kappa Alpha Order during his undergraduate days at Emory University, was biking across the country, from Virginia to Oregon.
He left Virginia on April 29 on a 4,200 mile trek on his Ride for Kore, to raise funds and awareness for women entrepreneurs in Kore, Ethiopia. He said that the previous night, after he enjoyed pizza at Quatro’s, he spied the Kappa Alpha house nearby. That is where he spent the night. He said he’d been offered hospitality at a few KA houses on his travels thus far. He is blogging about his adventure. Rosenberg is beginning his MBA at Columbia University in the fall.
