Kelso Rotary’s September 17th meeting offered members the opportunity to learn about an important issue facing our community while also celebrating the accomplishments of two outstanding local students.
Our featured speaker, Drew McDaniel of Columbia Wellness, shared insights into current mental health trends and challenges affecting our region. Drew discussed the growing need for mental health awareness, support services, and community involvement in helping individuals and families access the resources they need. His presentation served as a reminder that mental wellness is a critical part of building a healthy and thriving community.
In addition to our program, Kelso Rotary proudly recognized our first Students of the Month for the 2026-27 school year. Congratulations to Avery Coburn and Brady Snaza, who were honored for their academic achievements, leadership, character, and commitment to their future goals. These exceptional students represent the bright future of our community, and we are proud to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments.
Kelso Rotary extends its thanks to Drew McDaniel for an informative presentation and congratulates Avery and Brady on this well-deserved recognition. We look forward to following their continued success throughout the school year and beyond.
Service Above Self.
