On May 12, Sebring Lodge presented two $1,000 scholarships to Lewis Drummond, a senior from Avon Park High School who will be attending the University of Central Florida, and Adrienne Perez from Sebring High School who will be attending South Florida State College. The lodge also presented Julia Hartt, an eighth grader from Sebring Middle School, a check for $250 from the lodge and a check for $500 from the Florida State Elks Association for her Americanism essay, which won third place in the state contest and was submitted to the national contest. Linda Lakes, her teacher, was given a $100 check to thank her for her class participation. All recipients and their families were treated to a steak dinner.
