Because of the death of Laura Brecht's mother, we offer our deepest sympathy for her loss. Laura leaves for the services this week.
Many people showed up to work on the Miss Borrego float, including Sue & Haddon Salt, Kay Bailey, Andrew Przestalski. It is now "safe and sound", and the seats have been covered to protect the girl's dresses & it is "clean as a whistle".

Presentation speakers: Josh Painter, Michele Delgadillo
The top 8th graders (those who have been identified as potential leaders in the future) were sent to a leadership camp. It was held at Camp Fox near Lake Henshaw. They are here today to talk about their experiences:
Michele: thanked Rotary for letting her go to the leadership camp. At 1st, she was fearful, but as she met new friends and joined the activities, she enjoyed her experience.
Josh: thanked Rotary also. He had to work with a team and because this, he now understands the importance of working with a team and will apply this later to his life. For him, his favorite part was the Rotary olympics. Also was very nervous at first, but that changed when he got into the classes.
The 2 kids were asked what was the most improtant thing they learned. Michele said they were taught the importance of "a firm handshake" and "a smile" when meeting anyone in the future.
Josh said "fairness" - 2 teams worked against each other as a model and then we had to evaluate each team for the fairness of their team.
