The Mount Vernon Kiwanis Club sponsors community service clubs at 4 area high/secondary schools.  At its meeting earlier this month, the Kiwanians approved five scholarships of $1000 each to be used toward tuition costs by five of the Officers of the Key Clubs who had made application for the financial assistance.  This year's winners are:

• Caris Moses, President of South County Secondary's Key Club
• Cynthia Nguyen, Vice President of South County Secondary's Key Club
• Kellianne Tomlinsion, President of Mount Vernon High School's Key Club
• Maggie Chaing, Vice President of Mount Vernon High School's Key Club
• Jessica Read, Vice President of West Potomac High School's Key Club

Caris, Kellianne, and Maggie will be starting at the University of Virginia this fall, while Cynthia is going to Virginia Tech and Jessica is off to Brigham Young University in Utah.

In June, members of the Mount Vernon Kiwanis Club will present each scholarship winner with her check payable to her university at special awards ceremonies at the three schools.
