Well done to the Interact (Rotary sponsored) students at Randolph-Macon Academy Middle school!

The youngsters continued a tradition of raising $500 each Christmas for “Able Forces”, a local organization led by veteran, Skip Rogers, who helps find sustainable employment for local veterans, and vets nationwide.

The money raised supported a local veteran’s family over the holidays.

“Wonderful young people doing wonderful things for their wonderful community” commented Warren County Rotarian Michael Williams.
