Of the many applicants, John Overleese said, “No question about it, this is the best and largest groups of students we’ve ever had.”

This year’s scholarship recipients were: Samantha Fisher, International School; Katie Marie Avara, Juanita High School; Gabriela Patilea, Juanita High School; Clair McLeod Wilson, Lake Washington; Tania Santiago, Lake Washington; Evelyne Kolker, Lake Washington High School; Austin Bogue, Lake Wash. Tech. Academy; Naoaki Donuma, LWTC; Fenny Wirjono, LWTC and recipient to be determined, Cascadia Community College.

The community’s support for The Rotary Club of Kirkland’s July 4th Great Puget Sound Duck Race funds these scholarships.
