Our club's annual Scholarships are one of our oldest community service projects, second only to the Track Meet. They began in 1962 as the Honn Memorial Scholarships, named in honor of two sons of then club president Charles Honn; the boys tragically drowned in an accident off the Oxnard coast. From one award annually in the early days, the program has grown over the years, and recently we were happy to honor an outstanding group of deserving students with $1,000 Camarillo Rotary scholarships.

• Elizabeth Hernandez, a Hueneme High School senior and first-generation college student in her family. Her ultimate goal is to attend UC Davis and specialize in small animal care.
