West Covina Sunrise Rotary Club Newsletter Wednesday, February 21, 2007

Golf Tournament: April 23, 2007.

Greg Benton is the chair for this year’s tournament. WE NEED EVERYONE TO PITCH IN.
Please call Greg to become involved with this great project.

Scholarship Committee: At the meeting on February 21st, the scholarship committee made the following recommendations, which were all accepted and approved by the club:

1) Applicants for the scholarships must either reside in the City of West Covina, or attend one of the following High Schools: West Covina, Nogales, South Hills or Coronado Continuation School.

2) Applicants will be ranked giving most emphasis on Financial Need, then Community Service and involvement in the local Community, and then Academic Achievements.

3) We will use the proceeds from the Golf Tournaments as follows: 75% of net proceeds to the Scholarship Program, 25% to Other Local Rotary Programs.

Upcoming meetings:

Wednesday, February 28st: We need to finalize the discussion about our Scholarship Program. Should we pay the award money directly to the student – or should the payment be made to the recipient’s chosen institution. When will the awards be given out? Should we have a banquet? Or attend the Award Ceremonies at the schools? Or should we invite the award winners to a Breakfast Meeting? Or all of the above?

If you are interested in serving on this committee, please contact Dr. Lee Lau.

Wednesday, February 28th: The annual 4-way speech contest will take place at our regular breakfast meeting. Come meet the four contestants for this year and cheer them on as they perform their speeches. If you have any questions, please contact Miriam Tennant.

Raffle News: Well, with only 4 cards left, it was bound to happen. The lucky raffle winner finally picked the Ace of Spades and I am very, very happy to announce that I was the lucky one. And since I just totaled my car, I can surely use the money… Vatche, Show me the Money!!!
