The Rotary Club of Rancho Bernardo

Kerry Kirby, Executive Director Miss RB Scholarship Pageant and Kayla Ross Miss RB 2007 are pictured with RB Rotary Club President Charley Crew at a recent meeting. The Rotary Club has pledged $3,000 in scholarship funds for the Miss RB and Miss RB Teen Scholarship Pageant for 2008. These young women will promote the events sponsored by Rotary and their motto of "Service Above Self." These funds will ensure the tradition of 16 years will continue in RB. Kirby still seeks other sponsors in the community to assit in production and operation costs for the program. Last year over $4,000 in scholarships were awarded to 6 local young women.

Currently Kayla Ross is a freshman at the University of California Davis pursuing a degree in Veternary Medicine. She is a recent honors graduate of RBHS the class of 2007. Her sister titleholder is Brianna Slatnick a 17 year old honors senior at RBHS, who plans to attend a four year university and pursue a career in medicine.

Miss RB and Miss RB Teen will be held on March 23, 2008 at the Radisson Suite Hotel in RB. For more information contact Kirby at 858.487.5481
