Tickets are on sale up to the drawing.During its 75 years, the Warren County Rotary Club has been visibly active in the Warren County area through its service projects, but scholarships have been its forte.“As we review club history a bit, we notice that our Rotary club has always been about some form of scholarship awards to our area’s high schoolers,” noted club member Bob Hysong. “It was in 1989-90 when the efforts to help more of those students really started through our Scholarship Auctions.”At nearly $980,000 in scholarships given, most of those at the auctions, the club is trying to put the finishing touches on getting to the million dollar mark.“For a club our size in a community our size, people took notice of the efforts made to help those students wanting to reach the next level of their education,” Hysong said.
