Our music scholarship was awarded to Carly Bleau from Downers Grove South High School.

Carly provided a significant piece of work in music for consideration. She performed a vocal solo and we were thoroughly entertained. The selection was by songwriter Adele, "Make You Feel My Love".On behalf of the Woodridge Rotary Club, we wish these young ladies’ endless success and joy as they step into the next chapter of their life. The Scholarships were made possible by the work we do through our fundraisers, especially the upcoming Back to School Duck Dash, August 15th at Cypress Cove in Woodridge.
