Lilly is going to Italy!

Lilly is the first student from her high school to be selected for a youth foreign exchange program through our amazing Local Rotary Club. She is an honors student; she has been on high honor roll every semester since 7th grade. She is a member of the girls' soccer team and a member of the student council. Last April, she was picked for an event through RYLA, and it forever changed the course of her future. All she wanted to do was this program and experience life in another culture. After two rounds of interviews, she was approved. She will get her dream and will get to study abroad her senior year for 11 months. This is an opportunity of a lifetime.

To help offset some of the cost for her journey, we decided to start this page. So many family and friends, as well as local community members, said they would like to donate, so we figured this would be the easiest way. If anyone would like to donate and help, we would appreciate it more than you know. We are grateful for all the support, positivity, and help.
