Matheus As A Senior
Congratulations to Matheus Cofferri for making it through a year at Fort Morgan High School as a Senior! He had some experiences he didn't plan on, what with COVID-19 and all, but he stuck with it and was able to participate in one of the more unique graduations our exchange students will see.

A Chilly day for Chili!
It was a great day for chili, soup, ice carving, and ice skating in Fort Morgan on Saturday the 14th! We had a great turnout and lots of chili and soup to help keep folks warm inside, even if it was cold outside.
 
Money raised from this event goes to support the Rotary Club of Fort Morgan's youth programs that recognize and strengthen youth in our community, including the Rotary Youth Leadership Award, a scholarship given to middle school  and high school youth that allows them to attend a youth leadership development camp in the summer. In addition, the club recognizes a student each month from the high school and middle school as the club's students of the month and invites them to have lunch with the club, meet community leaders, and practice their public speaking skills by reporting on school events each week. The Rotary club is also hosting an exchange student this year from Brazil, Matheus Cofferri, who is learning about our community and culture while sharing details about his.
 
The Rotary Club of Fort Morgan wants to thank our sponsors, without whose help this event would not have been possible.

We want to thank County Commissioner Mark Arndt, County Sheriff David Martin, and the Fort Morgan Rotary Club exchange student from Brazil, Matheus Cofferri, for taking time out of their day to taste all of the dishes and come to a consensus on their favorite. Congratulations to our Grand Prize winner, Dayleen Mitchell, who was voted by our esteemed judges to be the best tasting dish overall!
 
For only $5, the public was able to taste all of the chili and soup entries and also cast a vote for their favorite dish. After the votes were tallied up at the end, the taster's award for Best Soup went to Carol Johnson and the award for Best Chili went to Loren Boyett.
Meet Matheus Cofferri from Brazil!
We are excited to announce our 2019/2020 exchange student from Brazil, Matheus Cofferri!
 
 
Matheus hails from Curitiba, a city in the southern part of Brazil near the coast. Though he lives in a big city now, he grew up in a much more rural setting where his father works for a dairy products company, which means he'll be right at home here in Fort Morgan.
 
Though you may not visit Brazil in your lifetime, the next best thing is to have someone from Brazil live in your home! You can be a host family to Matheus and share your culture and traditions with him while he shares the culture and traditions of Brazil with you! If you'd like more information about hosting an exchange student, please visit http://www.rmrye.org or send us an email at webmaster@fortmorganrotaryclub.org.

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards Promote Personal Growth, Friendship
The Fort Morgan Rotary Club recently had the wonderful opportunity to hear back from the students it sponsored to attend this summer's RYLA leadership camp.

"RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) is a life-changing leadership training program for young men and women where leadership skills and principles are learned, developed and enhanced in an atmosphere of trust and respect. The purpose of RYLA is to encourage and assist current and potential youth leaders in methods of responsible and effective leadership. Many past RYLArians have said, "It was the best week of my life!" "
