Rotary Club Luncheon

Wednesday, Kris and I joined Sarah at North Hills Country Club for the Rotary Club Luncheon. Why you may ask? Well it was because Sarah was receiving the Rotary Club Student of the Month Award. We thought it was just something like what Riverside gives out for Student of the month, but we learned Wednesday that this was the highest honor that a Riverside student can receive. It is given to students who stand out academically as well as exhibiting leadership skills and extra curricular activities.

We got to sit at the table with the chief of police, who coincidentally, was the speaker at the girls scout ceremony of achievement. We also got to hear a presentation from someone at one of the other area Rotary Clubs who was pitching their youth exchange program, which is essentially an exchange student program that they sponsor. All very interesting, but Sarah said she really doesn't have any desire to go overseas for a year. And to be honest, I'm not sure I would want her to.

That will be the only time I think that we will ever be inside North Hills Country Club. Funny that it took a 10 year old to get us in.
