Kim Ray, President of The Mattapoisett Lions Club, one of 45,000 Lions Clubs around the world, has announced the two recipients of 2017 Mattapoisett Lions Club Award of Excellence in the amount of $2,500 each.
This year’s recipients are Maxxon Wolski, of Mattapoisett, a senior at Old Rochester Regional High School and Kathleen Gifford, of Rochester, also a senior at Old Rochester Regional High School. Maxx will be attending the Berklee School of Music in the fall and Kathleen will be attending Wheelock College.
Both are recognized for their outstanding work in community service, their career goals and academic records.
Over the past seven years, the members of the Lions Club have awarded over $25,000 in scholarships.
These awards would not be possible without the strong community and town departments’ support we’ve received over the years.
Funds for these awards were raised through the efforts of the Mattapoisett Lions at our annual Harbor Days Arts and Crafts Festival and other events throughout the year.
