We enjoyed visiting with our most recent RYLA camper, Grace Van Oort! Grace is a rising senior at Purcell High School and is active in the Student Council and National Honor Society chapters. Thank you Grace for sharing.
Congratulations to Jesus Solis, our Rotarian of the Year!
We love supporting fellow Rotarians in the amazing work they do! On June 3, we heard from members of the Norman Cross Timbers and Norman Rotary clubs about the Le Tour De Vin event they hold with Norman Legacy and Sooner Rotary clubs. This year's event will support the work of Bridges, helping to further their mission of empowering students who live alone to succeed.
This year, Purcell Rotary Club awarded scholarships to four local students. Congratulations to Dylan Smith, Emma Renfro, and Isabella Walker from Purcell High School and Katelyn DePue from Lexington High School for their dedication to Service Above Self!
Make-A-Wish Oklahoma helps grant wishes to children with chronic or terminal illnesses. As we learned on May 6 from development officer Kelsey Brown, there are multiple families in McClain County currently waiting on their wishes. We can all help change these children's lives by donating, fundraising, or volunteering.
On April 15, Purcell Rotary welcomed local gymnast Brinxlyn Riley and her family. Brinx is currently training at the Bart Conner Gymnastics Academy and representing BCGA and the state of Oklahoma at national competitions. Next stop: Junior Olympics!
