Thank you to the 20 Rotarians who volunteered their time to attend the 7th Annual LEAD Conference over the October 24-25 weekend. 134 eighth grade students attended the conference where they were challenged to act with integrity, accept themselves and have a positive self-image, and set high goals for their future. Students and Rotarians were inspired by the following four interesting and entertaining presenters
