September 28, 2015</b> – Area students with a grade-point average of 3.5 and higher and who perform community service are eligible for scholarships presented by the Riverdale Lions Club, King Lion Patrick Prangley announced today. The 44-year-old Riverdale Lions chapter will again award $2,000 in scholarships. The 3<sup>rd</sup> annual Lions-Jonathan Ebbeler Scholarships will be presented at the group’s community service celebration and dinner Nov. 18 at The Alamo Mexican Restaurant. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>“Riverdale Lions are proud to be part of a community where young people understand the importance of service to others and we are delighted to be able to recognize their solid efforts both in school and in community,” Prangley said. Veteran Lion member and Riverdale Park Council member (Ward 1) Jonathan Ebbeler, who was instrumental in creation of the scholarships three years ago and who is a major financial contributor to the program, added that “educational costs have long been on the rise and the Lions want to help deserving students in anyway we can. It is important for the community to support the next generation in its pursuit of higher learning and to let them know we appreciate their positive actions.”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This year’s awards take on a special twist, says Prangley. He said he was recently re-reading President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 inaugural address that included Kennedy’s plea to fellow Americans “ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country” and he immediately thought of his longtime friend and mentor, the late Guy Tiberio. Tiberio, a former multi-term Riverdale Park mayor and counsel member and former King Lion, was also a businessman, entrepreneur and inventor. He was well-known for his tireless efforts to build a better community. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>“In Guy’s memory, we want to recognize students whose studies are focused on industry, technology and/or pursuit of furthering their education in engineering and technology or in the trades – electrical, plumbing, construction and manufacturing,” Prangley said. “So, we are casting our net for qualified candidates for the Guy Tiberio Industrial, Tech and Trade Scholarship Award.”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Carol Anne Bosco</b>, of College Park, and <b>Kelsey Jarman</b>, of Riverdale Park, are among pervious Lions-Ebbeler Scholarship winners and both tout the benefits of the prestigious recognition. The 2014 award to Carol Anne made her pursuit of a degree at the UMD School of Music a little easier as she studied and performed at area venues. Kelsey’s father, Doug Jarman, best known as “Mister Magic” and who’s vintage soft ice cream truck is a fixture in the community, reports the two-time scholarship winner who is attending Towson University “has received the honor of Dean's List every semester she has been there.” An Exercise Science major senior, Kelsey was elected vice president of her sorority Zeta Tau Alpha. She completed a 120-hour internship as a Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Intern at Baltimore Washington Medical Center while taking an online nutrition class and working. “She is extremely thankful for the Riverdale Lions support and believes in her success through the scholarship given to her. This was possible through Jonathan Ebbeler and Lions Club and the many others involved. Thank you again for the scholarship to help further her education.”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The Lions Club International is a 97-year-old secular service organization with nearly 1.4 million members worldwide and is best known for its work with the blind and for its hearing-impaired, diabetes awareness and youth outreach programs. The Riverdale Lions Club, chartered in 1971, is a significant contributor to community arts and youth programs. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>The application deadline is <b>October 23, 2015</b>.
