Dear Rotarians,
Due to the July 4th holiday, our first meeting was held on July 10th. We had a Board Meeting in which I went over the goals I wanted to accomplish this year. These were reviewed at the July 17th business meeting.
I will be sending you a President's Message once a month to keep you updated with the old and new information for the month. A Board Meeting will be held on the first meeting of each month.
At the end of this month and at the beginning of August, there will be 3 important meetings. These will be listed in your newsletter in the "Upcoming Programs and Events" section.
Thank-you for your Rotary Club services!
Bruce

Taley Price, the 2024 Bunkie Rotary Scholarship recipient from LASAS High School, attended our club meeting on July 24th. She spoke about her college and career plans. Pictured are Club President Bruce Coulon, Ms Price, and her mother Aleshia Frank.
Ms Price and Bunkie High student Riley Hernandez were selected to receive the Bunkie Rotary Scholarship, each in the amount of $1,000. The Scholarship Project Chairman, Margie Melancon, along with committee members, met with the student advisors at both LaSAS and BHS to identify eligible students and make a selection. Fortunately, the club was able to award (2) $1,000 scholarships, thanks to a matching funds Rotary District Grant secured by Bruce Coulon earlier this year.
