Out of a group of 32 highly qualified and worthy applicants in 2022, the American Legion posts are proud to have selected Joseph Kiezulas as the recipient of this year’s scholarship. Kiezulas, a Kennebunkport resident, is in the top 10% of his graduating class and was captain of the KHS varsity basketball team during his senior year. In addition to his academic and athletic achievements, he has made his way by working each summer since ninth grade. An interest in technology gave him the impetus to learn how to make repairs to smart phones for one of his co-workers and others. This interest in technology will lead him to attend Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in the fall to pursue a degree in Computer Science. The American Legion posts would like to congratulate Kiezulas on his accomplishments and wish him great success in his future endeavors as he pursues his educational and career goals.
Stick with your current vehicle. Both new and used cars are expensive and in limited supply right now. Keeping your current ride is likely more economical if you don’t need a new car.
