+ Plant City Noon Rotary Club
The Plant City Noon Rotary Club sponsored Florida Strawberry Festival Queens Court member Maddy Keene to attend the S4TL leadership training program.
This award-winning program is organized annually by Rotarian senior staff from Districts 6890, 6950 and 6960 in Central Florida. Each Rotary club in the three districts may sponsor a delegate to the sessions. A total of 160 delegates were registered to attend this year.
One unique feature is the “rap session,” during which leaders of tomorrow are divided into groups of 16 to 18 delegates. They meet with Rotarians to discuss topics of interest to them.
The Noon Rotary also sponsored high school student Kellyanne Hurst to attend the annual World Affairs Youth Seminar in July, at Auburn University. Hurst acted as the delegate for Pakistan in a weeklong Model United Nations summit. The issues addressed encompassed the Syrian conflict and water crisis throughout the world.
She was awarded the “Best Representative of a Difficult Country.”
Hurst also met 29 students from throughout the United States, France and Japan.
The seminar is open to sophomores, juniors and seniors in high school.
