Those attending the March 25 meeting of the Danville Rotary Club had the opportunity to hear from three local high school students participating in the Rotary’s annual Speech Contest. The persuasive speeches, 7-10 minutes in length, could be on any topic, but had to be delivered from memory, without props. There were three entrants. Two speeches were presented at the meeing; a third was submitted via video. The livve speeches were recorded for submission to the Rotary District Speech Contest. First place went to Havala Oliver, who talked about “life without limits.” Emily Brewer took second place with her video contribution on creating a better connectin between Rotary and the members of Interact clubs for young people ages 12-18, sponsored by Rotary. Third place went to Macie Barker, who described the dangers of “senioritis” on teens’ mental health. ______________________________________________

Since taking the role of executive director of the Downtown Danville Partnership, Anne Johansson has discovered that a scooter can be a girl’s best friend. She parked her electric two-wheeler outside on a recent visit to The Republican’s office. Complete with basket on the back to hold her folders, she’s sold on her traveling office - the only thing it lacks is a name. Send your scooter name suggestions to anne@discoverdowntowndanville.org. _____________________________________________
