Youth Citizen- Jordan Smith

The Marquette Rotary Club annually recognizes a Youth Citizen along with other community leaders. It was a privilege for me to make the presentation to Jordan Smith, a Life Scout who is 2 merit badges away from Eagle and the Senior Patrop Leader for Troop 360. In addition to his Scouting, he is an outstanding student and musician. He is the coach for a middle school Lego Robotics team that advanced to the state competition and a volunteer at his church.

I have not been posting much because I keep forgetting my camera, not because there have not been things happening. The OA Winter Conference at Rapid River was a good time to visit with the OA brotherhood. Chris LaMarche of Troop 473 in Gladstone had an impressive Court of Honor this month in the beatiful sanctuary of Memorial United Methodist Church.
