The Rae Scott Community Service Award was given to Heather Ford for the tireless energy she provides to a number of much needed local services. Bobbie Shaw, Leon Purrington and Charles Vorrias were awarded with Paul Harris Fellowships for their contributions to the club and for their "Service above Self".

Exhange Students Visit - June 15th

We were visited by the students who are partaking of the long-term Rotary Youth Exchange Program being sponsored by our club. Pictured above are Max Sklar, Anneke Johnson, Brianna Manzelli and Kelsey O'Connor. Max and Anneke are headed to different towns in Argentina. Brianna is headed to Finland. Kelsey is headed to India. Kelsey will be journaling her trip on her website. The club membership was impressed with the drive and intellectual curiousity exhibited by these students. We are looking forward to hearing of their travels when they return. Check out the Photo Section for more Youth Exchange photos from this morning.

Brianna has created a website to highlight her travels. Check out the photo pages.




Kelsey's website is full of great images as well. It looks like she is having a great time in India.
