The 33rd Byesville Rotary Club Scholarship Golf Scramble raised a tad less than $3000. This annual activity is the club’s only fundraiser supporting scholarships for Meadowbrook seniors planning to continue their education. This year’s effort increases the total amount of money raised by the club for scholarships to $73,000.

While the wet spring weather and the lush grass in the rough slowed play for many players, the winning team made it back to the club house in short order. The members of the winning team were Jake Koenig, Mathew Koenig, and Adam Sikora. Chuck Fair won the 50/50 drawing.

Two thousand dollars of the money raised will be awarded to this year to 4 graduating seniors from Meadowbrook Highschool. The remaining $1000 will be added to the club’s foundation. The Byesville Rotary Foundation was established to provide continuing support scholarships for Meadowbrook students. In future, the club hopes to increase the amount of the scholarships by using income from the foundation.

The club scholarship committee interviewed applicants for the club’s scholarships. Award winners will be announced at the Meadowbrook award dinner.

The club is fortunate to be working with the Rolling Hills Scholarship Fund. This year this organization is matching the award that Byesville club is presenting. This match will increase the value of the scholarship toe $1000 for each student receiving the award from Byesville.
