First Kiwanis Scholarship winner awarded

 

[September 13, 2019] 

The Lincoln Kiwanis Club had the desire to help a local student attend a local college, so two years ago they hosted their first annual golf outing to raise funds to support a scholarship. Following an application and committee selection process, Alexis Davis from Lincoln was selected to receive a $1500 scholarship.

Alexis Davis is a 2019 graduate of Lincoln Community High School. While attending LCHS, she was an honor roll student athlete who spent time working as a camp advisor at the YMCA and volunteering at her church. She is now attending Lincoln College to complete her Associates Degree. Her future plans include transferring to Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville for a degree in Elementary Education.

The Lincoln Kiwanis Club held their 2nd Annual Golf Outing on May 18, 2019 at Lincoln Elks Country Club. Participants enjoyed great weather, a round of golf, lunch by Flossie’s & Delzenas, margaritas providing by Lincoln Banquet Center, drinks and giveaways provided by United Community Bank. Participants also enjoyed a buffet style dinner by TKs Grill and award ceremony following the outing. Proceeds from each golf outing will provide over $2,000 in scholarships to local colleges for local students.

The remaining proceeds will help continue to support the club’s passions including LJHS Builders Club, LCHS Career & Technical Program, and Logan County 4-H Club. Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting impressions in the lives of children.
