GETTING AN INSIDE TOUR OF WASHINGTON

Treynor high senior Jared Greiner spoke to Club members about his recent trip to the Capital as a member of the 2007 Senate Youth Leadership group. Greiner explained that one youth for each member of the senate is selected to visit Washington to meet legislators, especially senators, and government department leaders. He was able to tour areas not accessible to the general public, and their group was addressed by President Bush. The visit was sponsored by the William Randolph Hurst Foundation and also provides a $5000 scholarship. Greiner said he was chosen from among other applicants by the Iowa Dept. of Education. He thanked Treynor High School Guidance Counselor STEVE IRVIN for steering him to this opportunity. Greiner said it was a very awesome trip and inspired him to consider student leadership activities in college. He plans to attend the University of Southern California and major in interactive entertainment and creative writing.
