Rotary Program Amelia Earhart

The second half of our Rotary program was a visit from Amelia Earhart.  She shared stories about her life and the value of having supportive parents when you want to push boundaries and explore new horizons.  Elsa Wolff, part of the High Plains Chautauqua, did a wonderful portrayal of Amelia Earhart.  She was the first person to fly from Hawaii to Oakland, California.  She inspired women of her day and people of all ages.  As part of her program, she spoke directly to the RYLA students who were present at our meeting.  She was inspiring, encouraging and motivational as well as historical.  What an amazing event to have this woman reach out of the past and touch the lives of the eight young leaders we were honoring that day.  Thank you Elsa and Amelia for invigorating both young and old with your presentation.
