ROTARY GAZETTE
GOVERNOR'S CORNER

 

Each year District 5300 provides scholarship opportunities to high school students thru the Dan Stover Memorial Music Scholarship and the Four-Way Test Speech Contest. At a cost of only $275.00 per club, these programs can continue annually. These scholarships allow the winners to further their studies while at the same time recognizing, encouraging, and rewarding the hard work of our youth. I urge all clubs to continue this District 5300 tradition and Rotary legacy. If you have not sent in your $275.00, please do so by December 31, 2011. If you have already sent in your money, - "Thank You".
