ONE MORE STEP UP THE LADDER TO SUCCESS...

Reading a rather lengthy list of Rotary activities already under the belt of one Miss Madison Wall, makes you proud that our selected participant for this year's RYLA is definitely the best choice. 2011 RYLA is set from January 28 to 30 at the Trinity Center.
Madison has been very active in Rotary since before starting high school, now with a continuing membership in Interact. Madison was a Rotary Exchange Student and has also hosted a visiting Exchange Student. She is a member of a dance group, who recently held a dance to make some money to give toward polio eradication. She is involved in music, photography, Beta, and too many more activities to list.
We are  hoping and planning  to have Madison as one of our guest presenters to give you a first-hand report about her experience at RYLA.
As we watched Madison sing for us at our annual Christmas Fellowship Dinner, and I watched Bevin and Pam Wall, looking at their daughter with nothing but love and pride. They certainly should be proud. In this day, it is so difficult to keep children focused and motivated, but Bevin and Pam have done a wonderful job with all of their daughters. Madison will achieve her goals and Rotary will have played a just a small part by giving her the opportunities to be a part of Interact, Youth Exchanges and  RYLA.
