MONROE - The American Legion Auxiliary Post #84 and Monroe Kiwanis club recently announced they will sponsor 2013 Badger Boys State delegates Noah Tostrud and Brett Zimmerman.
Tostrud is the son of James and Maureen Tostrud, and Zimmerman is the son of Melissa Holland and Patrick Zimmerman. Maxwell Yurs, son of James and Karen Yurs, will serve as the alternate.
Badger Boys State is held every June on the campus of Ripon College. Young men, from all over the state of Wisconsin, participate in activities that explore the workings of state and local governments by creating a small community on the college campus. Activities include elections, legislation, law enforcement and judicial proceedings.
To be eligible for Badger Boys State, a young man must be in his junior year in a Wisconsin high school, be among the top third of his class, have demonstrated leadership and be sponsored by a local civic organization. Successful candidates were selected from an eligible group of their peers by the high school faculty.
