Seven Local Students Are Recipients of Annual Awards
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – At a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Pittsfield, seven students from the three city high schools and Berkshire Community College were honored with scholarships by the club. President Ron Latham and Scholarship Chairman Thomas Sherman presented each of the students with scholarship checks of $1,500 each. The club has traditionally sponsored the scholarship program for many years.
“The scholarships that are given for both academic and vocational/technical students, are based on financial need,” said Sherman. “They are awarded to also help them to grow both financially and spiritually toward their dreams and goals.” Receiving this year’s award from St. Joseph’s High School was Corey North, who was introduced by his guidance counselor, Leslie Walton. From Pittsfield High School: Rebecca King, daughter of Jonathan and Heather King of Pittsfield, who was introduced by her guidance counselor, Janice Barry. Samary Cardona was introduced by her guidance counselor Sandra Ray. From Taconic High School were Melanie Comeau, daughter of Todd and Carla Comeau, who was introduced by her guidance counselor

A special nursing scholarship was awarded to Leon Lazarevic, also introduced by Beth Wallace and Rotarian Ralph Cianflone.
In addition to the club’s members, the students received their awards in the presence of their school administrators, principals, family members and friends.
