COMMUNITY BRIEFS

Splash to feature local grads
The Splash plans to recognize Liberty Lake high school graduates in its June issue. In order to participate, graduates are asked to submit name, high school, parents' names, plans after graduation and photo to photos@libertylakesplash.com by May 8. 

This invitation extends to all graduating seniors who live in the community, regardless of where they attend high school. Contact 242-7752 with any questions.

FOPP accepting scholarship applications
Friends of Pavillion Park will be awarding three $750 scholarships and the $1,000 Elmer Schneidmiller Community Leadership Award to students seeking post-high school education in the 2015-2016 school year. Scholarship application materials are due by May 15.

To be eligible, students must be a resident or have a parent, guardian or grandparent who is a resident of the Liberty Lake community. For the $750 scholarships, preference will be given to students who have demonstrated Pavillion Park-related community service and are pursuing degrees or certification in music, drama, visual arts, recreation, physical education, sports administration, horticulture or natural resource studies. The Elmer Schneidmiller award is selected by the Schneidmiller family and is given to an individual who has demonstrated exemplary leadership and service to the Liberty Lake community.

Scholarships are paid directly to the institution, and former recipients are not eligible. For scholarship forms, go to www.pavillionpark.org/application.html or email David Himebaugh at davidh@pavillionpark.org.

FOPP welcomes volunteers
Are you passionate about the community? Are you interested in bringing the arts to Liberty Lake? If the answers to these questions are yes or if you have an idea for a local event, the Friends of Pavillion Park invites you to join one of the group's monthly meetings.
 
FOPP is dedicated to providing opportunities for the community to come together and enjoy events focused around recreation, education, entertainment and the arts. For more, email joe.frank@pavillionpark.org.
