Thanks to our own Rotarian Kelsey Doom, President and CEO of the Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce, for an informative program this week on two Chamber initiatives. The National Civics Bee seeks to encourage young Americans in middle school grades to engage in civics and contribute to their communities. Winners of local essay contests will advance to in-person question and answer events, leading to state finals and a national competition. Students in area school districts are participating, and eligible for cash prizes. Kelsey also provided information about a Chamber-sponsored travel opportunity to Greece next October. For more information about either program, contact the Brookings Chamber. Thanks, Kelsey, for a great program!
