The Moultonborough Lion’s Club is giving 12 scholarships to deserving high school seniors from the communities it represents. Award ceremonies at Inter-Lakes High School and Kingwood Regional High School have not yet been held. However, Tuesday evening, May 27, Moultonborough Academy held its annual Senior/Parent/Scholarship Banquet at Geneva Point. Nine Moultonborough Academy students (pictured below) each received a $1,000 scholarship. Two of scholarships were from the Bicentennial Scholarship Trust Fund; the other scholarships were funded by the annual Lion’s Club Raffle.

At this past Monday’s dinner meeting, the Moultonborough School District’s School Psychologist, gave an interesting and thought-provoking talk on the history of Moultonborough Health and Suicide Prevention Coalition and provided some useful hand-outs on sources to contact and signs to look for. While this is a serious topic, Peter managed to inject his own brand of positiveness and include several Lions while making his points.
At the April dinner meeting, three new members of the Moultonborough Lions Club were inducted. They are Jenni Williams, Larry LaPoint, and Pat Eastman. Truly a great celebration for the Club.
