Dining for Scholars
Posted March 24, 2016 at 5:46 am by Tim Dustrude
Dear Island Neighbors,
Spring is here and we are hoping for another great community turnout on Thursday, March 31th for the annual Dining for Scholars day. Our “Dining” goal is to raise $6,000 for our scholarship fund and you can help by simply dining out for breakfast, lunch or dinner (or all 3!) on this day. Last spring we granted twenty-three, $1,000 scholarships to San Juan Island high school graduates, so we really need your support to replenish our scholarship fund.
This year the following restaurants are graciously offering to donate a portion of their proceeds to our scholarship fund:
- Café Demeter
- Market Chef
- Hungry Clam
- Spring Street Deli
- Roche Harbor’s Lime Kiln Café
- China Pearl/Kung Fu Pizza
- Vic’s Drive In
- Haley’s
- Cask & Schooner
- Mi Casita
- Coho
- Roche Harbor’s McMillan’s Room
- Van Go’s Pizza
- Rumor Mill
The mission of San Juan Island Service Scholarship is to support higher education and promote volunteerism among our community’s youth. Students who have completed a minimum of 80 hours of volunteer community service during their high school career are eligible for a scholarship through our program.
If helping to grow volunteerism in our community appeals to you, please join us March 31st. See our online ads for dining locations and times, or visit us on the web at www.sjiservicescholarhship.org. We are a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization and your direct donation is fully tax deductible.
With sincere appreciation for your support,
June Arnold
President
