Anne Roberts Scholarship to be Awarded at June 25 Lunch

Please Join us for the awarding of the 2014 Annual Anne Roberts Scholarships.

Presenting the awards for the club will be former Congressman Mark Foley. In the early days of the scholarship, Mark’s contributions allowed us to follow the students throughout their entire college years.

Also at this meeting, we will hear from PBC GOP Chair Anita Mitchell who will bring us up to speed on “Anita’s Rules for Winning – GAME ON!”.

Then Anita Carbone, who is running the Victory Center this year for the Palm Beach Republican Club, will tell us about the exciting volunteering opportunities up on the 6th floor.

Please join us and celebrate the day with our young scholars.
