Woodinville Rotary to
provide 14
of 77 scholarships in 2010
Northshore Scholarship Foundation, entering its 26th
year of operations serving students of the
Northshore School District, will offer $155,400 in
grants to 2010 graduates.
Even in light of a tepid investment picture over the
past year, the total of 77 scholarships is slightly
more and with greater value than the past year,
President Eric Barnum noted. The grants are made
possible through 50 scholarship-generating
endowments managed by the Foundation as well as
through its three supporting service
clubs—Northshore Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club of
Northshore and
Woodinville Rotary Club.
A complete list describing the scholarships, their
values and criteria, is posted at
www.ns-scholarship.org.
Program coordinator Sally Barnum will be meeting
with parents, career counselors and interested
student at upcoming school meetings planned to
assist seniors with their post-graduation plans.
The scholarship values range from a minimum of
$1,500 to as high as $7,500 with several renewable
for the balance of a student’s work toward a college
degree or completing an accredited certificate
program in a specialty field.
“We support a wide range of study interests,”
President Barnum noted, “from those science majors
who dream of discovering a cure for cancer to others
whose career path might be in business, the arts,
music, teaching, health services or keeping pace
with the growing demands of automotive technology.”
The Foundation has provided $1.5 million in
scholarships to 1,286 graduates since it started in
the spring of 1984.

Producer's Party Signups--
The
students from SAS who presented such a memorable
dinner show at Puttin' on the Ritz will be
performing December 3 at the Hollywood Schoolhouse.
See details below. This will be the
second annual Producer's Party, a fundraiser for The
Music Project Foundation. Eric Greenwood will
organize member interest in attending and supporting
the program.
Board meeting Nov. 18 --
High on the agenda for the
next meeting of club officers and directors
will be recommendations for the Rotary Charitable
Giving Plan for 2010. Steering committee members
wrapping up the financial details on Wine'n Shine
'09 should soon have a report on the results of
Puttin' on the Ritz to share with the membership.
The giving plan will be based on how well the event
did financially. One loose end being tied down this
week is that of invoices for members who agreed to
pay for their guests. Those were in the mail last
week and are NOT part of the member's quarterly dues
which will be billed again in January for the
club's operating months of January, February and
March of 2010. Those receiving invoices from Wine'n
Shine are asked to pay those directly to the
Woodinville Rotary Charitable Foundation at the club
post office box address.
