Local Youth Places Third in Rotary Speech Contest
By Megan Franklin, Christiansburg-Blacksburg Rotary Club #5752

The 2010 Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Speech Contest sponsored by Rotary District 7570 was held on December 3, 2010 at The Inn at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA. Selected in third place was Caitlyn Petrosky from Sherando High School. She was sponsored by the Frederick County Rotary Club. The first place winner was Abigail Blair from Tunstall High School. She was sponsored by the Danville/Riverview Club. In second place was Kayleigh Roy from Stonewall Jackson High School. She was sponsored by the New Market Rotary Club. It was a record breaking year with thirty-four registered participants in the speech contest. They represented sophomores through seniors from high schools and clubs across District 7570. The purpose of the speech contest was to help teens develop the skills and responses to inform friends and family of the dangers of alcohol and drug use.

Each participant gave a 6-minute presentation focusing on the topic, persuading others to avoid the dangers and aftermath of alcohol and drug use. Judges selected finalists who then gave their speeches to students attending the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) Seminar. The students judged the speech contestants on the same criteria used by the judges – delivery, content, originality and creativity.

The three winners will receive prizes of $200, $150, and $100 for first through third places respectively. They will receive their award checks at the District 7570 Conference on Saturday, March 12, 2011, at The Homestead in Hot Springs.

Offical Frederick County Rotary Mug

President Elect Kitty Zuckerman gives Scouting Executive Stuart Williams an official Rotary Club of Frederick County coffee mug for his excellent presentation about the Shenandoah Area Council Boy Scout growth. The Shenandoah Valley Council is one of the few in the country that have had membership growth with more scouts joining the Council. It just confirms what we already know about District 7570.

Rotary Christmas Tree Awaits "Santa's Gifts"

Rotarians Ric Van Norton and Walter Jagiello have the Rotary Club of Frederick County Christmas Tree all decorated. Now they wait for the magic of Rotary giving for The Annual Christmas Gift Giving Program called "Cathy's Kids". Over 35 children in need will receive gifts thanks to the some holiday magic and hard work. Gifts will be stacked under the tree. We hope to provide an "after" photograph with gifts stacked high awaiting delivery to "Cathy's Kids".

Future Leaders Visit Frederick County Club

Having breakfast with the Frederick County Rotary Club at Shenandoah University is a lot of serious fun. More fun than going to class.

Frederick County President Joe Myer (far right) steps forward to have his photograph taken with some future leaders that attended today meeting.

Sherando High School Interact Club leaders and High School Gifted Resource Teacher, Robin Owens (far left) provided the Frederick County Club members, guests and four visiting Rotarians from the Winchester Rotary Club about the activities of the Sherando High School Interact Club sponsored by our Club. Ms. Owens and her students were the program for the meeting. Along with their teacher, each student gave a short summary of their GIS experience and the community service efforts that they are helping to lead. The GIS program helps students by placing each in a mentoring business profession. All three Frederick County High Schools were well represented by student leaders:

James Wood High School - Catherine Woznak and Tyler Dick (right)

Millbrook High School - Cole Peery, Diana Otoya and Presley Parkes (standing rear)

Sherando High School - Cristina Restrepo and Tim Kaetzel (front center)

It is great to see how our effort as a Club helps support these students.

The photo was taken by Steve Gyurisin, PR Committee Chair and is posted on the Club Blog:
