In 1991 Rotarian Dr. George “Rusty” Bullock, Peter Clayton, and Ernie Knight co-led the foundation of the Warrington Rotary Foundation Inc., a 501c3 charity organization. Local high school seniors continuing further education would be eligible to apply for scholarships based on community service. Three founding principles of the Foundation include 1) Students’ record of community service, 2) To only use investment income for scholarships, and 3) To impact as many students as possible. Select Rotarians, including Rusty Bullock have Founders Scholarships in their name. Rotarians are truly inspired by the initiative and dedication to community service shown by students in the community. Over the years the Foundation has awarded almost 170 scholarships totaling about $158,000. Sam Griga is the point for this program.
