2016 Lions Club Scholarship Award

Miss Jenna Lafferty, graduating senior from Freeport High School, was the 2016 Freeport Lions Club $1,000 Scholarship Award Winner, and plans to attend Highland Community College majoring in the studies needed to pursue a medical degree to become a physician.

Jenna is the daughter of Mrs. Laurie Lafferty, a teacher in the Freeport School District.

The scholarship money will be awarded in two $500 increments after successful completion of two college semesters.

From applications the club received, hers was selected as the most deserving based on her many humanitarianism, leadership and community service experiences as well as her rank among her peers.

Lion Joe Serafini, FLC Secretary, presented the award during the latter part of May.
