Each year Kiwanis of Elizabethtown/Bladen County gives two scholarships to graduating seniors – one from East Bladen and one from West Bladen. This year the recipient of the East Bladen scholarship is Lindsay Bockover (pictured receiving check from President – Jeff Futrell). Lindsay is planning to attend the University of North Carolina Wilmington where she is majoring in education. The recipient from West Bladen high school is Colby Lewis (pictured receiving check from Secretary – Dr. Lisa Bryan). Colby is planning to attend Campbell University and plans to become a pharmacist.
Both graduates received their scholarships at the Kiwanis meeting on June 16, 2015 at the Elizabethtown Farmers Market. Both graduates brought their families and enjoyed a great meal with the Kiwanis members.
