Members and officers of Cocoa Beach Elks Lodge #2387 attended the Cocoa Beach High School senior awards presentation May 10 to award 19 $1,000 scholarships. Of these, 16 were academic scholarships presented by Robert Janes, Exalted Ruler, right, and trustee Dean Rosenquist (not pictured). These were funded by donations, proceeds from game nights, and other events such as gift raffles and commercial bingo games at the Super Bowl party, Kentucky Derby, and Cinco de Mayo parties. The lodge also kicked off a grassroots effort this school year for students who have other interests and to provide a career path or an alternative to college. Member Gene Phillips, left, and Robert Janes, Exalted Ruler, right, presented three vocational and technical trades scholarships, which were funded by lodge members. This new scholarship program was welcomed by Cocoa Beach High School and the Career and Technical Education (CTE) department of the Brevard County Public Schools.
