Scholarship and other business

     We discussed housekeeping matters at Thursday's meeting, including a possible bottle-and-can redemption fund-raiser through Hannaford, and a thank-you letter from ShelterBox for our recent $1,000 donation.
     And Bob Bonney did one of his member "interviews," this one with Tom Disinger, who talked about his career in the Air Force and in the television business, and giving away a baseball that had been signed by Ted Williams to a Red Sox fan who was scheduled to be deployed to Afghanistan.

     In other news, our scholarship program is open for business. Applications should be in by Feb. 15 next year. Barb Conner says:

      Will you help us spread the word? There is a scholarship available for a deserving Town of Malta/ Round Lake high school student. Read more below.

The Malta Sunrise Rotary Club expects to award one scholarship to a graduating senior in the Class of 2017. The selected student will be awarded a one-time scholarship of $1,000.
Applicants should:
(a.) Demonstrate excellence in their core curriculum ... education as well as strong involvement in community service. Consideration will be given to those students who participate in Rotary organizations for young people, i.e. Interact Club, RYLA or Rotaract, but any qualified student may apply. Consideration may also be given to financial need.
(b). Be a graduating high school senior who resides in the Town of Malta, including the Village of Round Lake. This may include students enrolled at Ballston Spa High School, Shenendehowa Central Schools, any accredited private or parochial schools, and students participating in an accredited home-school program, as long as their legal residence is within the Town of Malta or Round Lake.
Applications are now available in local high school guidance offices or from: Scholarship Committee, Malta Sunrise Rotary, P.O. Box 671, 49 Burlington Avenue, Round Lake, NY 12151.
