Please welcome our new Miss Rotary - Jessica O'Gorman - who will be our candidate in this years Summerland Blossom Pageant!
About Jessica
"My name is Jessica O'Gorman and I am a grade 11 student at Summerland Secondary School. In addition to my classes, I am part of senior leadership and the wellness group. Outside of school, I am a competitive dancer. I dance 8 hours a week in the styles of ballet, pointe, contemporary, jazz, tap and musical theatre. I also take music lessons in West Kelowna. In the future, I would like to dance professionally for a ballet company and attend university for ocean sciences. I'm excited to be participating in this years Summerland Blossom Pageant. I think the program is an amazing way for girls to explore their full potential, learn public speaking and show creative individuality. I am thankful to represent Rotary during my time in the pageant. Rotary is such an amazing organization and I like the idea that it strives to do good in the world".
We are excited to have you represent the Rotary Club of Summerland as Miss Rotary! We wish you all the best during this years program and look forward to getting to know you better over the course of the next year!

Many members of the Summerland Rotary Club know fellow Rotarian, John Kemp, and his wife, Ann; however, do you know Ann's role with our own Miss Rotary?
"Some people have called me a mentor for Miss Rotary. Basically my position is to "take care" of Miss Rotary for the 8 months that they spend going through the program. It's the nicest job I have ever had! We meet on a regular basis either for tea at my house or occasionally in a café after school We talk about what Rotary does locals and in the world and other things that help me to get to know Miss Rotary better. I guess I am there to help with what ever crops up and bring her to meetings and to volunteer with things such as the Rotary Pioneer Tea. It's not something I can properly describe, but I enjoy it and give her support if and when needed." ~ Ann Kemp
