Margaret LaPonsie is organizing the annual Rudyard Area Community Foundation Golf Scramble. The foundation offers scholarships to local seniors and grants to the schools. There are two new scholarships this year for graduating seniors, the Barbara J. Irwin Memorial Scholarship and the Sergeant Christopher Griffin Scholarship. Students had to write a two-page essay on what duty, honor, and country means to them to receive the Griffin Scholarship. Barbara Irwin was a home economics teacher at Rudyard Area Schools for many years. Donations are accepted from anyone for these scholarships.

They’re also looking for sponsors for the golf outing. To sponsor a hole or sign up for the golf outing, call Margaret at 478-5591. The scramble will take place Friday, June 18, at 4:30 p.m. at the Oaks Golf Course in Kincheloe. Entry fee is $25 per person.

A free class in off-road vehicle safety is planned at the Kinross Recreation Center Saturday, May 22, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Students are asked to bring a sack lunch and to pre-register by calling the center at 495-5350.
