On Monday May 7th our Annual Youth Recognition and Scholarship night was held at Southeast Community College. We had approximately 450 in attendance. Thirty-one scholarships were awarded totaling $32,000 in financial aid to high school seniors. The winners were introduced and recognized. We also awarded 223 certificates of achievement in 16 Academic and Extra Curricular categories to high school juniors. The Paulding and Esther Smith Memorial Youth Fund and the Lincoln Elks #80 Charitable Fund underwrite all of the scholarships awarded.
Sonny Lane acted as emcee and provided those attending a good overview of our other Lodge activities. The Youth Activities committee and Dave Kirby did a nice job in getting everything lined up for a smooth presentation. A special thank you to all Elks that attended.
