Our scholarship committee is hoping to interest students who demonstrate excellence in their core curriculum education as well as strong involvement in community service. Consideration may
also be given to financial need.
The selected student will be awarded a one-time scholarship of $1,000. Our scholarship committee may also offer one additional $500 award to the runner-up scholarship finalist.

And club President Tom Disinger has been helping out at, and is seeking support for, "theToys for Tots warehouse facility in Clifton Park.This is the sorting and distribution facility for the entire Capital Region. The operation is immense, and they need help.
"If you have some extra time during the next few days, they could use more volunteers. There are thousands of toys to sort by age, boys vs. girls, and then to bag and tag for distribution. ... The facility is in a warehouse located behind the Starpoint Church on Route 146 ... As you head west, you'll pass Tanner Road, and the church will be on your right, just past Tanner. Follow the Toys for Tots signs to the warehouse behind the church, and enter on the left front door. Allison is the person in charge. ...
"The schedule from Saturday into next week is as follows:
Saturday 10/24 10AM - 3PM.
Sunday - 12 Noon - 6PM (Maybe later, as this is a major day for receiving donations, and a great deal of sorting and bagging will be done.)
Monday thru Thursday (11/26-29) 10 AM - 3 PM As I said earlier, this is a huge operation, and lots of help is needed. Thanks (in advance) for supporting this cause."
