Kingfisher Rotarians got a recap of the 2022 Oklahoma Boys State week. Four delegates from Kingfisher High School were on hand at last week’s meeting. Also speaking to the group was Kingfi sher Rotarian and attorney, Jared Harrison, now on staff for Oklahoma Boys State. Harrison served multiple years as the deputy director for education, but is now the chief operating officer. Harrison told Rotarians of this year’s move to Rogers State University for “the week that shapes a lifetime.” Harrison said Rogers State, in Claremore, offers fantastic facilities to accommodate Boys State’s needs. He added that after a few years of declining numbers, he’s working to help increase the participation in the future. Next year’s convention is scheduled for May 27-June 3.
