The Rotary Club of Concord awarded over $17,500 to Concord-Carlisle and Minuteman Regional Technical HS graduates in 2010 using funds raised through the Thomas R. Huckins Memorial Tournament.  Huckins, a longtime Concord resident, tireless volunteer and consummate Rotarian, was instrumental in the success of numerous Rotary projects, among them construction of the Emerson Hospital Helicopter Pad, the Rideout Playground Field House, the Veterans War Memorial, and the renovation of Monument Square.

 In order to give more scholarships, Rotary would like to top last year's proceeds as financial aid is especially important during tough economic times. In addition to golfers, it is seeking tee and green sponsors. Tee and Green Sponsorships are $250, with an early-bird price of $225 if paid by Monday, August 2. Make your check payable to Concord Rotary Charitable Endowment Fund and mail to Rotary Club of Concord, Tee/Green Sponsorship, PO Box 455, Concord, MA 01742.

To register or sponsor, contact Phyllis Maurer at pmaurer@hammondre.com.  For more information about the Rotary Club of Concord, visit www.concordmarotary.org.
