2008 Annual Scholarship Report Chair Ken Ballou
The Osterville Men's Club annually awards $13,000 in
scholarships to qualified graduating seniors at Barnstable High School in the
form of five $2000 awards and one $3000 award in memory of Robert Grunewald.
The recipients receive their checks after they present first
semester transcripts certifying they are in good standing. In actuality, the
overwhelming majority have become honor students in college. The youngsters
have attended a wide array of both private and public institutions including
Duke, McGill, Harvard, B.C., B.U., Northeastern, Stonehill, U. Mass, U. of
Texas, the U. of Virginia just to name a few.
Those selected are usually in the top 5-10 percent of the
senior class, have above average College Board examination scores, strong
backgrounds in school and community activities, demonstrate financial need and
create highly favorable interview impressions.
The Class of 2007 winners have all received their checks and
have again proven to be outstanding college students and citizens.This spring
the Class of 2008 submitted 55 applications for our six scholarships-a very
strong ratio of better than 9-1. The committee recently completed the review
process and selected the following six recipients.
ELIZABETH RUBINO of Hyannis received the $3000 Robert Grunewald award
and plans to major in Business Administration at Stonehill College.
MELANIE BLACK of Centerville received a $2000 award and plans to
major in Pre-Medicine at Boston University.

ABOUT
It's about getting together to have a good
time. The Osterville Men's Club is kept small enough to give every member a
sense of place. Thus the 250-man limit, written into the bylaws of the club, is
not likely to be raised any time soon. The good news is that the Club has a
very liberal “Waiting List” policy, in that such individuals enjoy most all
club privileges such as golf and bowling outings. The one positive exception is
that one must be “invited and accompanied” by one’s sponsoring member at
regular monthly meetings. The Club enjoys more than 300 combined Active
Members, Associate Members, and Waiting List Individuals. It is not unusual to
have 160 or more happy members and guest adorning jackets and ties at a monthly
meeting. Camaraderie, friendship and fellowship are most commonly ranked at the
top of the Most Positive Club Attributes/Strengths.
