Mid-Columbia Duck Race

It’s time for the Great Mid-Columbia Duck Race again!  Once a year 40,000 little rubber duckies are dumped from a cargo container into the Columbia River in the hopes of winning fantastic prizes.  The race is put on by the Tri-Cities Rotary clubs.  The money raised during this race benefits local charities, so you can’t go wrong there.  As a member of Richland Rotary I am a ducky adoption counselor as well as help set up the race.  This is a community event that you can definately get behind.

Everyone has heard of Rotary.  They do great things in their communities as well as on an international level.  Since becoming a member of Richland Rotary I have enjoyed many things especially knowing that I am doing more good as a group than I could ever think about doing on my own.

Rotaract is Rotary for the 18-30 age group.  Our local Rotaract group is doing amazingly well.  They have a strong will to grow their group, volunteer in the community, and especially have fun!  I have been contributing to Rotaract since I joined Rotary.  I am on the youth education committee in which we volunteer our time to help grow the Rotaract group and help the members get the most out of being a Rotary International sponsored club.

This last year our club is making waves.  The last president Lisa Lockrem won an award that no Rotaract member has ever won before.  A momentus achievement.  The club itself has over 30 members and is growing by the minute!  Rotaract is definately at the top of list of things I am proud to be a part of.
