Hope you are enjoying that and our not-so-hot weather so far. All of the town's gardens are surely happy for this and the additional periodic rain. Happy "el Nino". We have two announcements for you. One is our Annual Scholarship winner for 2015 from Salome High School. For those of you who do not know our procedure for schol- arship applications, an involved teacher or guidance counselor endorses a student who wishes to apply. Then the applicant attaches that endorsement along with all of their credentialed transcripts including all of their high school grades. Finally, an essay is required of the student describing their interests for college, future plans, any par- ticipation in sports, clubs, honors, and in any or all outside commu- nity involvement. When we receive these criteria, members read them, discuss, and then vote on the fi nal- ists. The fi nalists are brought in soon after and asked to give their presentations to us and we have a fi nal question and answer session. Following, we have our fi nal vote and with a majority vote, the win- ner is chosen. No one outside of the membership knows the winner until the winner is announced at the Senior Awards Banquet. At the Senior Banquet on May 7th, Steve Schue and Amy LoPresti announced the 2015 High School Scholarship winner, Jennifer Wilkinson. Con- gratulations, Jennifer! We had many wonderful applicants whom we wish we could all give a scholar- ship to. We wish everyone a most enjoyable and productive college career. All of us hope that you all keep in touch with us to let us know how you are doing. The second item we'd like to an- nounce is our newest member, Amy LoPresti, who I am sure most of you are aware she is also our new Branch Manager at Horizon Community Bank since January 26th. We are very happy to have her here and having Amy with us. Welcome, Amy (and with that great smile)! Happy Memorial Day, everyone. Please, one and all, please come out to Town Park for fun and fam- ily picnics! Senior Citizens Center is open, get out of the heat come join us.
