Who knew being polite could be so cool? The Rotary Club of Franklin, MA, Vendetti Motors, and Emily Post trainer Lee-Ann Barkhouse are on a quest to equip Lions Heart kids with the ultimate social superpower: etiquette! From greetings to handshakes, table settings to soup-eating mastery, these youngsters are learning it all. And, as a sweet bonus, each participant received a certificate of accomplishment and an Etiquette book from the Rotary Club of Franklin, MA.

Tonight we honored our 2025 RYLA students, now empowered to reach unprecedented heights. The Rotary Club of Franklin MA proudly sponsored four FHS sophomores to attend the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards at Fitchburg State from June 27-29, 2025, where they experienced a life-changing three days of growth, self-awareness, and empowerment. As they shared their personal stories, it was evident that this experience was just the beginning of an extraordinary journey. We look forward to fostering their motivation and inspiring them to become visionary leaders who drive positive change and inspire a brighter future.
