I had the pleasure to attend the 2015 Award Ceremony at the Austin O’Brien High School on Wednesday October 7, 2015 and present one of the six $1000 Scholarship Awards the Rotary Club of Edmonton Strathcona gives out for deserving students.

The school determine to which student the award should go and this year decided to give it to the student who overcame a personal obstacle throughout their high school education while continuing to be very successful.

Jenna Butcher was the recipient. I was extremely proud to present this award on behalf of our club. The well-organized event was a pleasure to attend and I was extremely impressed with the welcoming spirit by students and teachers alike.
