I Like Giving Away Money! Barnegat High School Scholarship Awards

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty - Atlantic Shore

It isn't often I get to participate in distributing more than $106,000, but I did this evening.  

It was the 4th Annual Barnegat High School Scholarship Awards Ceremony.  More than 50 Barnegat and southern Ocean County organizations came together to honor graduating high school seniors and give them a financial boost in their advanced studies.

I attended for the Friends of the Library (FOL), presenting the Barnegat FOL $500 scholarship.  I like giving away money!

Good luck, Barnegat High School Class of 2011!

I gave away some scholarship money a few years ago at Highland Park High School. Make sure you get press releases out all over. Free way to get your name in the paper!

Laura...what a neat experience for you AND the graduating seniors.  consider the tip that the gentleman from RE/MAX suggested.  There are times when 'blowing one's own horn' can be a good thing.  Consider it.
Hope that you have a great Friday & Memorial Day Weekend, too.

Laura: What fun! I bet you were just as excited as the kids.  I disagree with the gentlemen from RE/MAX. Since you were representing the group, I think any press release should be the kids, and the FOL. Just my 2 cents.

Laura....how cool.  I saw the re-post.  What would be even cooler would be to be the one donating the $100,000+ for distribution.  Very cool!
