<p class=""><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%"><span style> </span>“There are young
people in our communities who have earned their stripes to continue advancing
their education but face significant financial hurdles,” says Ebbeler, who has
been instrumental in encouraging young people to get involved with community
service projects. “We want to encourage them to keep advancing their education
and reward them for their work in the community.”</span></p>
<p class=""><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%">Patrick Prangley, a former Riverdale Park Town Administrator
and Riverdale Lions’ “King Lion,” the local group’s top executive position, was

service to the community: finding a need and fulfilling it.” </span></p>

year. Kelsey Jarman, of Riverdale Park, and Semira Tesfai, of Hyattsville, each
received $1,000 awards while Riverdale’s Andrew Waldron captured a bonus
honorable mention award of $250.</span></p>
