Liberty Elks Lodge #2019 recently presented three area graduating high school seniors with Rick Humber Memorial Scholarships.
Funds for the scholarships were raised from the Rick Humber Memorial Steak Cook-off hosted by Liberty Lodge in February. More than 50 cook teams participated in the annual cook-off, yielding $7,000 to be awarded for scholarships in Humber’s memory.
Scholarship committee co-chairs Leah Humber and Miranda Hulvey (wife and daughter of the late Rick Humber) along with Lodge Exulted Ruler Benny Earp presented the recipients their scholarships.
Recipients include Jaci Stelly ($2,500), Esmeralda Mares ($2,500) and Anna Cruz ($2,000).
