Future Rotarian:

Judy Au

I'm Judy Au, an

incoming Senior at

River City High

School. I've been in

Interact since

Freshman year at

my previous high school but I wasn't as

dedicated or motivated like how I am here at

River City. I was the treasurer for the school

year 2012-2013 and will continue my duties

for the following school year. The college I

would like to attend is UCSD majoring in

Aerospace Engineer. I have been in a

numerous events but my favorite moment/

event would have to be the yearly Senior Gift

Program around Christmas time. I was able

to see how generous these kind strangers

were, giving without expecting anything in

return. Interact is truly amazing and

inspiring.

Assistant Governor,

Judy Foote checks

out the Club.

Len Strickland,

Barry Kalar and Tim

Kwong try to figure

out how to turn on

the lantern, just in

case the power goes

out. Boy Scouts are

not the only ones who

know how to

“Be Prepared.”
