Thank you to Abigail Barnett, District 6800 RYLA Chair, for joining the Southaven Rotary Club and sharing an inspiring and informative presentation.

Abigail highlighted the life-changing impact of the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program, where young people develop leadership skills, build lasting friendships, and learn the value of service. She also shared important updates on Rotary’s global effort to eradicate polio. Her message was a powerful reminder that while we are closer than ever to ending polio worldwide, continued commitment and support are essential to ensure the disease is eliminated for good.

We are grateful for Abigail’s dedication to developing future leaders and advancing Rotary’s mission both locally and globally. Thank you for sharing your passion, expertise, and heart for service with our club.

It was an informative and engaging discussion that provided a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing Mississippi today. We appreciate Attorney General Fitch taking the time to share her experiences, leadership, and vision for a safer and stronger Mississippi.
