Minnetonka Scholarships
Posted by Steve Frazier
Our Program for June 1st was a recognition of the 4 Minnetonka High School students who received scholarships from our club this year. President Dick turned the program over to Chris Lizee, who chaired the scholarship committee this year, and she introduced the four recipients who each told a bit about themselves, and introduced their family members in attendance.
Each of the students had a list of activities and community work that was awesome; all of them have their college chosen, and some had a major field already decided.The one boy and the three girls were very articulate, and represented their families and the school very well.
Bob Williams added a bit of history to the day when he answered President Dick's question about the origin of our scholarship program. Bob said that our club started giving scholarships in 1968 with two gifts to that class. The scholarship amount was $100.00 at that time, and one of the recipients of the first two was Bob's son.
That's 42 years of giving between two and five scholarships each year to MHS grads, as well as 5 years of STRIVE awards!!
