8-13-2014 Distinguished Young Women of Colorado

CCV Rotary President Amy Holland asks us all to extend our appreciation to our Club Admin Gary Bristow for all his work this summer leading the organization of our successful Rotary fellowship events: the Change of Command and more recent Club Picnic.  Thank you, Gary!

We welcome Bret Boyer as a member of Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club of Parker.  

Colorado's Distinguished Young Woman of 2014, Legend HS 2014 graduate, and first President of Legend's new Interact Club - Miss Bailey Baker - along with Colorado's Distinguished Young Woman of 2013 - Miss Katelyn Pyfer - explained the process and benefits of learning about, aspiring to, and applying for the scholarship opportunities associated with the Distinguished Young Women program (formerly known as American Junior Miss).  

We are proud to have Colorado represented at the national competition level by our very own Interact Club's first leader!  These young ladies encouraged us to help spread the word about this program (as it helps students work to maintain high academic goals and develop interview skills as well as physical fitness, an on-stage performance, and the ability to think and communicate clearly).

The motto and character development program of Distinguished Young Women is "Be Your Best Self." College scholarships for this program are raised on a state-by-state basis and must be continually refunded and ideally further developed.  The Colorado competition will be held in Castle Rock in January 2015.
