The Rotary Club of Charles County is hosting a Four-Way Test Speech Contest for students in Grades 9-12.
The Rotary is a community-based service organization made up of businessmen and women, professional and community leaders. Each year, the Charles County Rotary provides over $25,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors, dictionaries for third graders and other leadership and personal/professional development opportunities for students.
Students who are interested in entering the contest should prepare a 5-to-6-minute video clip of their speech and apply by March 8. The winner of the Four-Way contest will win a grand prize of $250 and will have a chance to attend the Rotary District Competition in April with awards up to $1,500.
