Today at Jonesboro Rotary Club the scholarships were presented to the student selected at each of the four schools which have Interact Clubs — Jonesboro, Nettleton, Valley View, & Westside. The amount has been raised to $3,000 which must be a welcome gift to parents. I was so impressed to see such outstanding young people devoted to their community in volunteering and making Jonesboro an even better place to live. It was amazing to me to see how much time is spent outside of school in worthwhile activities while keeping a great grade point average. The money comes from the Rotary Sportshow which is held in February each year and the young people see the fruits of their time in helping with it when they realize the money for the scholarships comes from that project. mlm
