One of our most prestigious awards to OHS students achieving milestones. We have 16 student guests with faculty and are counting on 40 Rotarians for the lunch count.

Ripon Rotary Club’s Liz Nevitt as District Governor

“Unite for Good”, both local and global was Nevitt’s message to Rotarians. “Our people are our superpower, to create lasting change in the community, the world and in ourselves.” She delivered inspiration and wisdom in “Be audacious, dream big and change lives.”
