Two club scholarships awarded

As part of our Sponsored Youth Day, the Kiwanis Club of Richmond was pleased to present scholarships to two Richmond-area seniors.
The Key Club scholarship went to Calvesha Lewis (left), president of the Thomas Jefferson High School Key Club. She lead a project this year that raised more than $700 for Haiti relief. Lewis was described as one "who spends a lot of time looking after others more than herself." She plans to attend Virginia State University and major in psychology and minor in education. The scholarship is worth $1,500. She is pictured with Club President Tim Sexton, Sponsored Youth Day organizer Reaves Louthan, Matt Zipperer, faculty advisor to the TJ club.
The Zuppa scholarship, named in honor or a past treasurer of our club, went to Benedictine student Matthew Shutt (right). A member of the Key Club and an Eagle Scout, he is planning on majoring in engineering at Virginia Tech. The scholarship is worth $1,400 a year for four years. He is joined by Kiwanian Jim Donohue in his photo.
