The Evendale Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the 2010 winners of its Christopher Dyer Memorial Scholarship awards. The awards are given annually to deserving high school seniors in memory of Lance Corporal Christopher Dyer, USMC. Dyer was an Evendale resident who was killed in action in Iraq on August 3, 2005.
Scholarship Committee Chair Bob Luther explains the program, “The Chamber considers it an honor and a responsibility to honor the memory of Lance Corporal Dyer. We feel that we can best do that by helping deserving Evendale resident students at our local high schools attend college. We raise funds for the scholarship awards through our annual Chamber Golf Outing. We are very fortunate in that we receive enough support from our business community that we can allocate one hundred percent of the proceeds from the golf outing to the scholarship awards.”
The 2010 scholarship winners are: Kimberly Allaire (Mt Notre Dame) who will be attending Bowling Green State University, Melissa Gottschlich (Ursuline Academy) who will be attending University of Dayton, Michael Spraul (Princeton High School) who will be attending University of Cincinnati and Carly Rohs (Ursuline Academy) who will be attending St Louis University.
Each student was chosen to receive an award of $1000 based upon their academic record, residence, financial need, service to the community and other criteria. The students will receive their awards at the Evendale Firehouse Chili Lunch on June 9, 2010. The Chili Lunch runs from 11 am to 1 pm and is open to the public. Please attend this event to honor our students and support our firefighters.
The Evendale Chamber Golf Outing, which will raise money for the 2011 scholarship awards, is scheduled for Wednesday, July 28, 2010. There are opportunities still available for player foursomes and sponsors. Please contact the chamber for registration information. Help us to make this a success for our future scholarship winners
