Anchor Scholarship Award Ceremony

So on the 12th of June I was able to attend the Anchor Scholarship Awards Ceremony.  I was there in the capacity of 'photographer'.  I volunteer for this a lot, because I LOVE taking pictures!  Getting my picture taken?  Not so much!  If you read about the Anchor 5K, then you'll know what this is about. Sort of.

I was very glad to be included in this event.  It was great to actually meet some of the fantastic kids that received this scholarship in person.  Their accomplishments are AMAZING.  I wish I had been that focused when I was in high school.  If I'd had half their ambition and drive I'd probably rule the world by now.  Just kidding.  (maybe)


So this blog won't have tons of pictures, because I'm not posting the  pictures of the scholarship winners and their families here.  Because I didn't ask for their permission.  I did manage to get a shot of the board, so I thought I would include that.  What an awesome bunch of people!

I actually knew 2 of the recipients!  Sadly they were not able to attend the awards ceremony since they now live out of state.  Their father served with my hubby many years ago.  I remembered them as small boys and now they are fine young men.  Wow does time fly!

Again if you have no idea what the Anchor Scholarship Foundation is, please go to the link.

I'm so glad that I got involved and will promote it in any way I can!

Lastly I added a photo of Admiral Thomas and his lovely wife Kim. I know Kim through my SOS group.  They are leaving the Navy and I wanted to get one final snapshot of the two of them together.  They are quite used to me with camera in hand since I'm the group historian.  (Read that as the obnoxious gal with the camera trying to get photos of you while you're eating or drinking.)
