May 17, 2018: Twenty-six Rotarians and guests were present as Dave Lawer introduced the Club’s and SACF’s 2018 scholarship winners. Dave shared a bit of Club history with the scholarships recipients and they were invited to stay in touch with the Club. Scholarship selection committee included Carol Handlan, Pat Pinkowski, Kay Lantz and Dave, who serves as chair for the Foundation. This was the first year working with the on line application. Dave thanked guidance counselor Chris Lupolt for his assistance with the process, and for arranging the “tech” appearance of recipient Patrick O’Malley, who was unable to be present since he had an AP test. Amber Ulrich, who especially enjoyed and appreciated her high school marching band experiences playing the drums, has already completed 24 college credits at Bloomsburg, where she will go in the fall to complete a degree in psychology. She hopes to complete college in three years and then go on to earn an MA degree, leading to a career as a child psychologist. Connor VanZijl’s special interest has been sports, and he looks forward to participating in the Lacrosse District Championship in Danville this weekend. He will continue his education at Susquehanna in Computer Science, and hopes to develop apps. He grew up playing little league and appreciates the Rotary Field. Patrick O’Malley is an Eagle Scout and has participated in track and cross country. He has especially enjoyed participating in endeavors such as the Seals Store. He will attend Georgia Tech to study electrical engineering and hopes for a career working with sustainable energy and automobile manufacturing.
