UPDATE: First Annual Scholarship Dinner

Club Members, make your reservations soon. Check your email for the Event Flyer.

As previously announced, former Gov. Jim Edgar has graciously agreed to be the keynote speaker.

With approximately 150 applications submitted to the Scholarship Committee for review, turnout for our first year has exceeded expectations. From the applications, the Scholarship Committee will pick four finalists, who then will be interviewed by the club officers before the scholarship award recipient is chosen. The finalists and their guests will be invited to the awards dinner with the scholarship winner announced during the evening.

We would like to thank everyone involve this year, especially the Members of the Scholarship Committee and the Members of the Award Dinner Committee who have been and are continuing to work so hard to make this event a success.
