Serving the Community Since 1945

Meeting Date: July 22, 2010

President Jeanne Smith opened the meeting promptly at noon.   Bob Gradle led us in the pledge and singing God Bless America and John Walker gave the prayer. 

It was great to see John Walker at our lunch meeting and guests, Dennis Reynolds, high school counselor from Walter Johnson High school, Jacqui Joseph, winner of $1,000 scholarship for her essay written about her service to the community, and her parents Jim Joseph and Jill Joseph.

Receiving a mock-up of a $1,000 check for a scholarship made payable to the College of Charleston is Jacqui Joseph, graduating senior from Walter Johnson High School, Rockville, her mother Jill Joseph, her father Jim Joseph, and Richard Ruprecht, advisor to the Walter Johnson Key Club.  The competition was open to all seniors. Eight essays were forwarded to our Foundation by the WJHS faculty as worthy of consideration, two were picked as winners.  Judging was difficult because all were extremely well written and interesting. Jacqui will be majoring in science and bio-chemistry.
