APR 15, 2023 STEM-YEA REVERSE RAFFLE

STEM-YEA Big Ticket Reverse Raffle 2023

July 2022, District 7430 hosted the first STEM-YEA Academy, and we look forward to an even larger class this year.

We can only Imagine and hope that we inspired the 41 intellectually curious of the students we served to pursue a STEM career.

The fundraising efforts of the 1^st Annual STEM YEA Big Ticket Reverse Raffle 2022 raised $18,000 to fully fund two important academy line items.

a. Student Celebration Dinner/Awards for all 161 guests

b. Students consumable swag bag valued at $100 each

Last year we sold 100 tickets to the BTRR fundraising event, this year our goal is to sell 150 tickets to the 2^nd Annual Big Ticket Reverse Raffle (BTRR).

In return, we will be able to give away more money and prizes and keep the tuition costs down for our clubs.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO CREATE A "MORNING STAR BASKET" TO SUPPORT THE REVERSE RAFFLE.

CONTACT PRESIDENT SEIFERT FOR SPECIFICS

Basket Value $100 - reimbursed by the Club

MAR 25, 2023 WENDY ELLSWORTH WOMAN OF ACTION

Wendy Ellsworth, one of our favorite "WOMEN OF ACTION" received the “Unbridled Spirit” Award by Frontier Nursing University March 25, 2023 in Versailles, KY.

"What an unexpected honor for me. You never know how something will impact your life many years down the road. My summer internship at the Frontier Nursing
Service in 1967 set into motion the service work that called to me many years later, in particular the work I have been devoted to in
Kenya since 2003. I am very humbled to be honored in this way."

Congratulations Wendy and we thank you for all that you do!
