Do you have a voice that needs to be heard? Want to sharpen your public speaking skills and win some prize money while you’re at it?
The Rotary Club of Susanville is officially inviting all local high school students (grades 9 through 12) to participate in their Annual Speech Contest! This is a fantastic opportunity to build confidence, enhance your college applications and share your perspective with community leaders.
