From scholarship announcements to a Mother’s Day brunch, many activities and neighborhood events are taking place at the Arizona American Italian Club (AAIC), 7509 N. 12th St.
On April 25, seven high school students received a $1,000 scholarship toward post-high school education/ career preparation. These students were chosen by a club scholarship committee on the merits of their high school studies, school activities, community volunteer work, part-time work employment in areas of interest and recommendations from current teachers and mentors. The club will continue to offer these scholarships on a yearly basis with application information to be sent to all area high schools for distribution to all students.
