Youth Services Commander Bree Goodman took the podium to let the cat out of the bag, yes the cat, as this was the reason why so many came to attend our club assembly. You did not think it was for the assembly part do ya?
 
Bree described this next award recipient as Inspiring, Above and Beyond, Energetic, Wonderful, and a True Leader. Who could she be talking about? Nope, not who you may be thinking of...it is Jennifer Yamauchi. Jennifer is involved not only just as the Interact advisor at GVHS, she is the BBRC  Above and Beyond recipient. Why? Let Bree tell you, Jennifer organizes the student club members in Highway Clean up, helps with Thousand Flags, helps with our Fundraiser Wine, Place and Show, RYLA, Kern YES, Wounded Heroes, CASA, Wind Wolves and on and on. This lady is living! And this lady is GIVING. Service Above Self.  Yes, Jennifer also has a full time commitment to her family at home and her career as a science teacher at GVHS.
 
Last year, Past DG Sandi Swartz nominated Jennifer for the prestigious Award for Excellence in Service to Humanity.  She awarded the honor to Jennifer as she described the special honor bestowed upon very few worldwide. A great day for Rotary, a great step for our future!  Jennifer, we thank you with all of our hearts! Wanna get involved and have more fun in Rotary? Seeing Bree and Jennifer is a good start
