Our District is lucky enough to be sending not just one but two scholars overseas to study in Great Britian and Greece. These scholars are both the recipients of a $30,000 scholarship from the Rotary Foundation. Thanks goes to a very dedicated scholarship committee led by Laura Davis and supported by Dave Emerick, Gary Rowe, Laura Kann, Marcella O'Brien, David Smith, Dave Hodge, Julie Gelaude, John Hurley, Sue Rector, Craig Devrieze, and Kathy Kwiat-Hess.
The Rotary Club of Toluca recently made a donation to the Fieldcrest Community School District #6 to purchase supplies to create kits that will help families get rid of head lice.
