Sag harbor Lions Club Awards Annual Scholarships

The Sag Harbor Lions Club announced this year’s three scholarship award- winning seniors from Pierson High School.

The top scholarship award of $2,500.00 is presented to Harrison Q. Yardley. Two other scholarships of $1,500.00 each are presented to Katie M. Bucking and Arlena F. Burns. The club will present the awards to the award-winners and their parents at the membership dinner meeting at the American Hotel on July 27, 2016.

Lion Mark Poitras, the Scholarship Committee Chair, said,

“Helping young people to continue their education while dealing with the escalating cost of higher education is a challenge our community faces. It’s a need our club continues to address even though the awards we present aren’t extravagant. This year we had many excellent applicants, which made our committee’s decision difficult. The winners demonstrated the highest level of combining extraordinary community and school involvement as well as the highest level of academic achievement.”

The club conducts fund raising projects during the year, such as the Annual Christmas Tree Sale at the windmill in Sag Harbor during December, The Easter Egg Hunt as Mashashimuet Park on Easter Sunday, the Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner on St. Patrick’s Day and Andy’s Run 5K Race on the first Saturday in October.
