Madelynn McDermeit of Gas earned multiple awards Saturday for her work in support of the Rotary Medical Supply Network.
McDermeit was recognized during a ceremony hosted by the Cofachique Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
McDermeit, 14, volunteered with the Rotary club’s efforts to obtain and inventory medical supplies and equipment from hospitals and clinics. McDermeit inventoried all of the supplies at Allen County Regional Hospital, and then helped deliver them to a warehouse in Tulsa, where they are stored until needed across the globe.
She also wrote a paper about the project.
McDermeit’s efforts won State, Four-State Regional and National Junior American awards from DAR.
Donna Roberts, DAR state Junior American Citizen chairwoman, presented the awards.
McDermeit’s mother, Jennifer and Stephen Gilpin, were on hand for the ceremony, as were her grandparents, Gary and Susie Grieve and Lauralee McDermeit, along with state registrar Bunny Bowen.
