Rotary Scholarships – Tiffany Martin
Tiffany
Martin and her great committee oversaw the distribution of five $1000
scholarships to five deserving recipients. All five winners were children of active Rotarians! What a
great legacy to pass down. The
winners were Dona Occhipinti who will be attending Hobart and William Smith;
Brittany Bruce who will be attending SUNY Cobleskill; Taylor Rapke who will be
attending University of Vermont; Torie Hairston who will be attending Elmira
College and Nikolas Gray who will be attending SUNY Albany. These five young people are outstanding
individuals and there is no doubt they will continue to model our motto of
Service Above Self. Congratulations
to the winners and their families! Great Job!
