I
am proud to be a member of the Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) High School Memorial Scholarship Committee, now in its 45th year. This year fifteen $1100 scholarships were awarded (ten of the 15 winners pictured above). The funds generated come from an annual Chicken BBQ in San Luis Obispo each Super Bowl Sunday. The students fill out an application for the potential scholarship and committee members interview the finalists. It’s amazing what these students have accomplished at such an early age. There is no doubt that the future of this community is in good hands. At the MLK award ceremony last month, two recognition awards were given out. U.S. Agriseed’s, Danny Fernandez (pictured left) received the Community Service Award for his continued support of the program. Martha Steward also received a special award for her volunteer work above and beyond the call of duty. Pictured below is the Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship Board of Directors.
There’s plenty of good reading again this month, including Susan Stewart’s profile on Archie McLaren. Our cover story this month features the Gregg brothers and their love of bass fishing. We also caught up with a couple of past high school graduates who are doing good things on the Central Coast. Enjoy the magazine!
