Spring is here and we are hoping for another great community turnout on Thursday, March 26 for the annual Dining for Scholars day.

Our “Dining” goal is to raise $6,000 for our scholarship fund and you can help by simply dining out for breakfast, lunch or dinner (or all three!) on this day.

The 2015 graduating class has a high participation rate in the Service Scholarship program, so we really need your support to meet our scholarship awards.

This year the following restaurants are graciously offering to donate a portion of their proceeds to our scholarship fund: Rocky Bay, Café Demeter, Market Chef, Hungry Clam, Roche Harbor’s Lime Kiln Café, Blue Water, China Pearl, Spring Street Deli, Vic’s Drive In, Haley’s, Cask & Schooner, Mi Casita, Coho, Roche Harbor’s McMillan’s Room, The Place & Rumor Mill.

The mission of San Juan Island Service Scholarship (formally Dollars for Scholars) is to support higher education and promote volunteerism among our community’s youth. Students who have completed a minimum of 80 hours of volunteer community service during their high school career are eligible for a scholarship through our program.

If helping to grow volunteerism in our community appeals to you, please join us March 26. See our online ads for dining locations and times, or visit us on the web at www.sjiservicescholarhship.org.

We are a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization and your direct donation is fully tax deductible. With sincere appreciation for your support.
