followup on scholarship

[Daniel Ellard]

Yesterday I received a handwritten note from our scholarship winner, addressed to the club, which I will transcribe.  (any typos are my own)

I wish to express my utmost gratitude for having been awarded $1000 from the Rotary Club of Belmont Scholarship.

I loved high school and everything BHS had to offer.  I joined many different clubs, sports, and was involved all over the community.  It took me until junior year to find what am now truly passionate about: community service.  I joined the Belmontian Club, met Ms. Meinlcoff, and my life was really changed forever.  I earned a Presidential Service Award and was elected President of the Belmontian Club, but that was only the beginning.  Senior year, I created my own non-profit, The Shirt Project.  I paint custom designs on t-shirts, sell them, and donate the proceeds to the Ronald McDonald House Charity.  I raised over $500!  These experiences were invaluable, and I know I will continue to do service for a long time coming.  Looking back over my high school experience, there isn't a single thing I would change, and as I head off to George Washington University in the fall, I'm even more excited to see what the future holds.  Once again, thank you so much for this scholarship.

Sincerely, Alexia M. Stefanovich
