Bob Iskov Scholarship
Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (09:40): A massive shout-out to our three inaugural Bob Iskov Scholarship recipients, who did Wangaratta proud on the Kokoda trail. Hugh Canning, Ella Kidd and Zoe Baguley successfully walked, climbed, clamoured and sweated their way across the rough terrain in Papua New Guinea. Leadership is developed, and these three students are our future community leaders. I also want to thank all of our sponsors who so far have contributed to this scholarship to ensure its success, and I particularly want to single out the Wangaratta masonic lodge, who continue to fundraise and contribute to this extremely worthwhile local scholarship. The Freemasons do such good work that goes unnoticed in and around the Wangaratta region, and the Wangaratta lodge should be very proud of their support for young members of our community. Thank you once again to all of our sponsors and contributors. The Bob Iskov Scholarship will be a starting point for many young leaders to emerge in the Wangaratta community, and I encourage other businesses to support this outstanding journey.
