The Rochester Elks Lodge 1393 presented the first local scholarships in
its 102-year history at the Spaulding High School awards night on Wednesday May
17th. 2023. The Rochester Elks Scholarship fund was established in
August 2022, and because of generous donations by our membership along with
fundraising activities, lodge representatives were able to present these awards
to four well-deserved Spaulding High School seniors.
Scholarships
awarded were for $1,200.00 each to the following Spaulding High School seniors:
Amy Powers
Colin Bissonnette
Haley Faucher
Kendall Gadbois
The scholarships were awarded based on family membership in the Rochester
Elks lodge along with consideration and evaluation of the students’ high
academics, leadership, community service, and citizenship.
Congratulations to all the 2023 scholarship winners and continued success
in their future fields of
studies. `
Members of the newly established scholarship committee are Jerry Skidds,
Chairman, Cindy Skidds, Sue Cook, Kelly (Cook) Kasprzyk, Don Martin, Patty
