We had the honor of having Marie-Claire Concannon (Annual & Community Giving, BCIT Foundation), Susan Waltes (Awards Coordinator, BCIT Foundation) and Lilian Luo (2010 Recipient of the Rotary Club of Burnaby, BCIT Foundation Scholarship) join us on February 4, 2010.
Susan provided us an update on our Scholarship with the Foundation. Since the inception of the Rotary Scholarship in 1991, 16 students have benefited from our sholarship for a total of $ 9,000 funds making its way to support students at BCIT.
