Rotarian Joe Yen, left, presents Gabriel Bradford a speaker gift at the Rotary Club of Montgomery meeting Thursday, Jan. 19, at the Montgomery Village Hall. The Rotary Club sponsored Bradford’s attendance to RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) in 2022, a weekend getaway for youth leaders. Each year thousands of young people take part in the program worldwide and are chosen for their leadership potential to attend workshops to discuss leadership skills and to learn those skills through practice. The 18-year-old Bradford is chairman of the City of Aurora Youth Advisory Committee. Rotary Club of Montgomery meets at the Montgomery Village Hall at 7 a.m. on the first and third Thursday of each month.Rotary Club of Montgomery photo
