ROTARY News:

Three 8th-grade students from Los Alamos Middle School were honored recently at the Rotary Club of Los Alamos for their award-winning essays based upon Rotary’s 4-Way Test, a set of principles Rotarians aspire to live by: 

• Is it the truth? 
• Is it fair to all concerned?
• Will it build good will?
• and better friendships?
• Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Each student received a cash award.

The essay competition was chaired by Rotarian Andrea Cunningham and judged by Rotarians Phil Dabney, Karen Easton, Laura Loy, Alison Pannell, Bethany Tierney and Alex Zubelewicz.
