Elks Scholarships

Wednesday, May 27, 2009
Sixteen local scholars were honored by the Greencastle Elks Tuesday night, as the local post distributed $500 to each of the college or college-bound students. Betsy Jones got an even bigger honor, as she was recognized for receiving the Elks National Foundation award, worth $4,000. Additionally, Tyler Wade received the Bob Berry Memorial Scholarship at the ceremony. All of the recipients are either children or grandchildren of Elks members. Pictured above are (front, from left) Elks member Bev Jones Steele, Shannon Cree, Courtney Costin, Lindsey Davis, Cassie Alspaugh, Stephanie Hollis, Chelsea Whittington, Whitney Warren, Jones, Wade, member Indy New-Cox, (back) member Danny Wallace, member Wally Steele, Bobby Risku, Alex Roach, Kyle Harlan, member Brian Harlan, member Keith Wade and member Willie Hoagland. Recipients unable to attend the ceremony were Thad Whittington, Dru Secrest, Dee Wood and Stephen Holmes.
