Starting in 2018, The Rosemary Myrick Memorial was able to award $1500 in college scholarship money.  We were able to give one deserving Alcona Track athlete a $1,000 scholarship and Adeline (Rosemary's daughter) $500 towards her education account.  Each year, we hope we can grow and give back even more.  Our goal for upcoming years is to give out TWO (2) $1,000 scholarships to local students and to continue to add to Adeline's education account. 

Lunch will be catered by the famous Chris Cakes out of Claire, MI and will consist of a Taco Bar.
