WEST ALEXANDRIA — The annual Rotary Honor Scholars banquet was held at Twin Valley South High School on Thursday April 21. The Rotary Honor Scholars banquet is an event coordinated by the Preble County Educational Service Center which recognizes sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are in the top 5 percent of their class.

The speaker at this year’s banquet was Heidi Bortel. Bortel founded a cycling advocacy group, Preble Trails, is a Rotarian, a Preble County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau board member, past Downtown Eaton Inc. board member, and is a program manager at the HIT Foundation in Eaton.

Bortel is a graduate of Miami University/Oxford with a B.A. in Creative Writing, and graduated from Eaton High School in 1993. She always looks forward to the next project or idea. The goal – to make her own community more awesome. The joy is in the process and the talented people she meets along the way.
