Carli Hoffacker (center), a sophomore at Brown County High School, won the Brown County Rotary Club's speech contest and will represent the club at Rotary's Southern Indiana District Speech Contest in Jasper April 16, 2011.  Her winning topic on "Life, Leadership, Service and Rotary's Four-Way Test" earned her a $100 prize from the club.  Rachel Kerney, Carli's English teacher, coordinated the contest.  Connor Gingrich and James Mullen, also sophomores, finished second and third.  Posing with her at a Rotary breakfast meeting were her mother, Leigh Ann, and Norman Oestrike, club vocational director.
