INVOCATION
Let us renew our obligation to fulfill that expectation, just as the return of spring renews growth in the world around us, with a new commitment to help others in our community, our nation, and our world. With the power, influence, and wealth that we as leaders in this place most certainly have, let us always remember that these are a blessing and that charity is more fulfilling than decadence, and the Golden Rule is a much richer yardstick than any bank account. Amen.
— Joseph D. Coons, Bellingham, WA

PROGRAM:
The Springfield Rotary Club held its annual "4-Way Speech Contest." SHS Sophomore Zada Grant was the winner of the $100 1st
Prize for her speech about the current national political climate for women's rights and laws relating to abortion. SHS Junior Angellina
Woychosky ("The High Cost of Healthcare") and Senior Alicia Ostrom ("Environmental products help sustainability") received $75 and $50, respectively, for 2nd and 3rd Place. Grant will represent the Springfield Club in the Rotary District Semifinals this weekend in Henniker NH. The top 4 finishers from that event will compete in the District Finals in Hanover, NH later in April.
