The Byesville Rotary Annual Golf Scramble raises funds to provide scholarships to local high school seniors. This year the club was able to present three scholarships to seniors from Meadowbrook High School and to one senior at the Mid-East Technical and Career Center, Buffalo Campus.

Jim Bakos, the chair of the Scholarship Committee, reported that the committee members reviewed the written applications from students interested in the scholarships. Applicants who qualified were then interviewed. The committee has selected the students who will be awarded the 2010-11 scholarships. Joe Waske, Byesville Rotary president, will present the scholarships to the students on May 16 at the Meadowbrook High School Award Dinner.

The club's next meeting will be 7:30 am, May 3, 2011, at Meadowbrook High School. Club members will be attending the Interact Club induction of new members and 2011-12 officers.

Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young people ages 14-18.
