Fellow Rotarians and Friends,
What a great meeting we had last week.  Middle school students that won the 4-Way Test came to accept their awards with their parents, school staff and Rotary members cheering them on. I’m really proud to be part of a club that recognizes the achievements of our community’s young people. I hope you all can make it this week as we award the Pazen Nurse Scholarships to thirteen nursing students.  We will be meeting in the Ventura room (larger room) at the Poinsettia Pavillion and will start the meeting a little early at 11:45am.  See you there!
 
In service,
Dawn Knowles
President 2024-2025

2025 Scholarship Presentations
Scholarship Thursday was another great success. A special thanks to Steve Harbison, Kathy McGee and Jacquelyn Syndergaard who were judges and presenters.
We presented scholarships to 24 graduating seniors, including 9 students from Paciific High School for vocational and community college purposes. The foundation also awarded funds to 24 students who are currently enrolled in college. Thank you to Cal Magro for being responsible for bringing the Pacific students into the program and his generous monetary donation to a Pacific student.
 
And a special thanks to all of you that attended the luncheon. In total we had approximately 100 people in attendance. Great Job Rotary East!
