May birthdays were celebrated with a delicious birthday cake. Jim Sommer led us in singing happy birthday to Dave Brooks, Mira Bozanich, Mike Fuqua, Lou Anna Dickerson, and Maguy Feghali (sorry if I missed anyone). Special red/white/blue flag centerpieces at each table were gifted to that table’s Veteran or someone who has a birthday closest to today’s date.
Past President Gary Saks introduced today’s Scholarship Awards program. He spoke about our Club’s history in sponsoring numerous youth programs such as Model UN, RYLA, 4-Way Speech Contest, Dictionary/Thesaurus distribution and Scholarships. He thanked the Scholarship Committee, Mike Fuqua, Judy Lutticken, Maguy Feghali and Cathy Glover for their hard work as it was a difficult task in choosing the recipients. Cathy Glover and Judy Lutticken received kudos for designing and printing the Scholarship Awards program.

Congratulations to the exceptional students who were recipients of the 2017 Scholarship Awards! Mike Fuqua presented awards for Del Norte High School students: Tyler Barton-UC Santa Barbara; Gleb Shevchuk-Stanford; Isabel Torres-USC. Judy Lutticken presented the awards for Rancho Bernardo High School students: Bryant Huang-Duke University; Sung Hoon (Mark) Kang-Duke University; Allen Tsai-Johns Hopkins. Maguy Feghali presented the Special Needs Scholarships to Del Norte High School student Lyric Rivers-Grossmont College and RB High School student, Stanley Do -Mesa College. Following the awards presentation, time was set aside for Q & A with the recipients, which was most interesting. President Benita announced that Photographer James Kaspar will be happy to take photos of the students and their parents after the meeting.
Since time ran out before Fine Master Extraordinaire John O’Neill had a chance to empty our wallets, be sure to come prepared for John’s fines next week!
