LISBON STUDENTS ATTEND LUNCHEON WITH SENATOR ANGUS KING

 

Lisbon - Lisbon High School siblings Jeffrey and Anna Willey, along with student peers Connor Craig, Ryley Austin, Alex Couillard, Jonah Sautter and Hayley Wheeler were invited to attend a weekly Rotary meeting on Thursday, April 2nd.  Students and Civics teacher, Paul Giggey, were guests of Lisbon’s Community Resource Coordinator and Rotarian, Monica Millhime.  “The students’ attendance at the luncheon was supported by The MELMAC Education Foundation grant awarded to the high school connecting student aspirations to a plan after graduation,” shares Millhime.  “Throughout the school year students are invited to attend Rotary meetings to provide them with an opportunity to meet members of civic-organizations and gain insight in specific areas of interest provided by guest speakers.”   Students were welcomed by Rotary President, Christine Wilson, who thanked them for their attendance and their prepared questions for Senator King. “I very much enjoyed my trip to listen to Senator King's speech,” commented Jeffrey Willey. “It was very educational and delightful.  Putting aside the lovely occasion, dining hall, and gourmet dining, King's speech was certainly the most interesting of them all.  He had insightful opinions on the inner workings of the Senate.  He was also very informational and provided elaborate detail on how and why certain things were, and were not, accomplished in the Capitol.”  Lewiston-Auburn meets at the Ramanda Inn in Lewiston on Thursdays at noon.  Guests are always welcomed.  FMI on events, programs, partnerships in education and volunteer opportunities in Lisbon Schools call 754.0021 or email mmillhime@lisbonschoolsme.org.  Find the latest news and updates on FaceBook at Community Resource News in Lisbon Schools.  Photo courtesy of Monica Millhime.
