ROTARY SPEAKER -- Evie White was the guest speaker at the Council Grove Rotary Club on Wednesday.

Highlights included helping maintain Holocaust memorial stones, participating in Rotary-led service and travel experiences, and navigating the differences in school and daily life. She appreciated the chance to build friendships with local students and improve her German. This fall, Evie will attend the University of Minnesota, majoring in genetics and cell biology. She is pictured with her father Steve White.
