Excerpts from her letter:”I cannot thank you enough for giving me this opportunity and believing in me when many said I would fail. The generosity you have shown me is immense and I promise that I will not let you down.”

Scholarship Awards and Praise for our Scholarship Winners

Monday night I had the distinct privilege of attending Golden Gate High School’s “Awards Night”. Specifically, I was in attendance to award a Naples Press Club Terrence J. Miller Scholarship to Oscar Santiago-Torres, a most deserving young man. Indeed, Oscar received multiple awards in recognition of his achievements, as did many of his classmates. I had the pleasure, too, of meeting and congratulating both his parents and his sister, as well. In addition to Oscar’s numerous awards, I was impressed by the abundant number of obviously deserving students being recognized and in quite substantial fashion.
