"Why I Am Proud To Be An American" (topic)
Two of the essay's which were submitted for the Americanism Essay Report were forwarded to The National Americanism Committee. I received a call from Larry O'Laughlin and was told that one of our kids was picked for SECOND PLACE in Division I. There were over 74,000 essays received nationally. Travis Rutherford Jr., 5th grader at SY Jackson Elementary School, in Albuquerque, is the recipient of a $300.00 savings bond for winning second place nationally.
Albuquerque Lodge # 461 and the Las Vegas Lodge # 408 were the only lodges to submit essay's. Hopefully, next year, more lodges will participate.
