The July 17th meeting was attended by 22 Hilo Bay Rotarians. President Steve got the meeting rolling on time and he asked for announcements. Richard Cunningham started them off with a very interesting and provactive announcement. Someone in the Club asked him to investigate a scholarship for a nursig student and that they would fund it at $5,000. There was a call to from another Rotarian that they would match that amount! If this wasn't surprising enough, Richard then proposed that the HRYF contributions from the club members should be capped at $3,000 with the balance staying in the community since the members usually contributed between $5,000 and $6,000 per year.
