The program featured the popular Student of the Month program. Chair Mark Haldaman noted that interacting with so many outstanding young people leaves him optimistic that the world will be a better place. There are countless charitable causes in our world and many of us have our favorites. The great thing about Rotary is that it is big enough to cover such a wide array of causes, from a simple student award to disaster relief and polio eradication. Our award-winning students each receive a certificate and a $200 check. Their names are engraved on small metal plates to be displayed in the lobby of their respective schools. Our award winners were:
