Rotarian Ellen MacFarlane, Susan Zacharias, Serena Zacharias and Rotarian Megan Borland

We honored our most recent Rotary Student of the Month, Serena Zacharias, on Tuesday, May 9^th. Serena is the daughter of Alex & Susan Zacharias and was accompanied by her mother this past Tuesday.

Serena is finishing up her senior year at Homestead High School and will be pursuing a degree in bio-chem this fall at the University of Notre Dame.

Serena is an active leader within the Rotary Interact Club at Homestead High School where she has organized various fundraisers to provide aide to her local community and residents of Guatemala.

She is the President and Founder of Artistic Outreach, a program she established within hospitals and nursing homes where Homestead students perform music and create crafts and artwork for patients. She is an accomplished violinist within the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra and Vice President of Homestead’s National Honor Society. Serena is also one of very few individuals of her age who have been licensed as a certified Emergency Medical Technician.

Serena, we are honored to recognize you as our Student of the Month and we thank you for your “Service Above Self!”

Tak (Danish for thank you), Mathilde!

Has it been a year already? Mathilde left Denmark August 16, 2016 to travel first to Copenhagen, then on to Frankfort, Chicago, and Milwaukee, until she finally arrived in Mequon to begin her year as our Rotary Youth Exchange student. She outlined those activities that we take for granted, but were uniquely American through her Danish eyes—homecoming, American football, prom, traveling for spring break to Hilton Head, etc. She patiently answered all our questions concerning similarities/differences in family life, education and transportation.

Vi ønsker dig held og lykke, Mathilde! (We wish you luck, Mathilde!)
