PROGRAM REVIEW

Youth Day and Scholarship Program
By Diane Bass

Each year, our scholarship committee meets and selects two recipients to receive an $8,000 scholarship that is awarded to Beaumont students. The Scholarship Committee Chair, Ellen Zimmerman, along with her committee met and reviewed applications. This year’s recipients are Timothy Iyere and Emily Neild.

Emily thanked the Rotary Club of Beaumont for the scholarship and let us know that she has been accepted to Baylor University to begin her studies with general business and prelaw. She plans to attend law school, return to Beaumont to perhaps some day serve as a judge in her hometown.

Timothy is considering Duke University or Baylor University to study premed and continue in medical school with a specialty in cardiology. He has served as the President of his Interact Club and knows that hard work in service matters. He expressed gratitude to the scholarship committee and the members of the Rotary Club for this recognition.

Switching to local projects that benefit the education and literacy of our youth, Diane Thompson spoke about the Rotary Goes to School Service Project, Jacques Gagne presented an update on the ROAR Program (Reach Out and Read) and Lynn Hill our resident expert on anything pertaining to public school added additional information.

Ninety-one students at Martin Elementary School received 910 books plus one student asked and was given an additional book for her sister. Four hundred books were given to the school for the book vending machine. Volunteers are needed to participate in the reading program so watch for the upcoming link to sign up. Although the sign up will begin this summer it is recommended that anyone interested wait until August when schedules are made for the upcoming school year.

Congratulations to Timothy and Emily. Thank you to all who participated in the scholarship and youth programs and special thank you to the Board of Trustees who have continued to support these projects.
