Manassas Rotary Club Names Lillian Orlich as Honorary Rotarian

Osbourn Park High School Guidance Counselor Lillian Orlich was inducted as an Honorary Rotarian by The Rotary Club of Manassas during a special luncheon on Wednesday, December 2.

Ms. Orlich has been a strong advocate of both the Rotary and its high school program activities for many years. In addition to coordinating the 'Brown Bag Lunch' program, during which local Rotarians share career and education advice with students who are interested in a particular career field, Ms. Orlich advocates on behalf of the annual Rotary High School Speech Contest and Interact Club (the high school version of Rotary).

“Beyond formal Rotary activities, we believe that Ms. Orlich lives the Rotary motto, ‘Service Above Self,’ each and every day through her work as a guidance counselor,” said Manassas Rotary Club President Susan Strom. Ms. Orlich will join Virginia Senator Charles J. Colgan (29th District) and :News & Messenger" journalist Bennie Scarton, Jr. as Honorary Rotarians.

Following the luncheon, Ms. Orlich posed with her current students who are members of Interact, the junior Rotarians group, and former students who are members of the Rotary Club of Manassas.
