Oak Lawn Rotary Club Awards Scholarships to Local Students
On June 2, the Oak Lawn Rotary Club awarded five local students with rotary scholarships. Students and their families were in attendance for the ceremony at the Hilton in Oak Lawn.
Students submitted an application where they described contributions they made to the community as well as their plans for secondary education.
“The past is what got us all here today. You folks are the next generation of future leaders and will weave the very fabric of this country, congratulations and best wishes” said Rotary board member Jim Weise.
