The Rotary's Royalty program was started by our member Vickie and celebrates students in Mason and Kings High Schools who have been nominated by their teachers.  Teachers are asked to nominate students who have shown heart -  students who strive to improve themselves and help others they meet along the way.  Rotarian’s drop by the schools to present certificates to nominated students. In addition, one student per month is selected to attend our meeting with his or her  teacher and family, where they receive the Rotary Royalty’s Student of the Month award..
