The Barrington Breakfast Rotary Club invites local students pursuing vocational or trade careers and working toward an associate degree, diploma or certificate to apply for $1,500 Career and Technical Education scholarships.   Rotary encourages education and will grant 15 scholarships this spring to students living in Chicago’s north, northwest and many western suburbs.

 

Career examples are auto mechanics, administrative assistants, heating/ventilating/air conditioning tech., computer tech., paralegal, pharmacy tech., human services, law enforcement, elder care and many other fields.

 

Candidates must be sponsored by their local Rotary club and show good high school grades in relevant subjects, work experience in their chosen field, volunteer work in their chosen field, good extracurricular activities, character recommendations and more.  Rotary clubs will screen applicants and sponsor one or two students each to the suburban Rotary selection committee.  That committee will interview and screen applicants further to help determine the vocational scholarship winners.

Information and the application form are at https://rotary6440.org/sitepage/vocational-service.  Students must submit their application to their local Rotary club by early March.

Jeff Degner will give us an update on the Healing The Children Program at our Barrington Breakfast Rotary Meeting this Thursday Jan 12th. He is currently the Director of the Illinois/Indiana branch. This program finds children born with severe disabilities or physical issues that prevent them from living a normal life. Healing The Children find host families, hospitals, and doctors to perform the operations free of charge so the children can have a normal life afterward.

Our purpose is to help children throughout the world receive medical care unavailable to them due to a lack of medical and financial resources or health insurance.

 About

We are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that provides critical and life-changing medical attention to needy children from around the world.
