JULY 3 -- $152,500 in scholarship grants were awarded to college students, including Local 100 members and their families in a random drawing conducted at the Union Hall. While an online audience watched on Zoom, Local 100 Recording Secretary Shirley Martin drew the first name from a spinning basket. That first scholarship was worth $10,000.

Local 100 President John V. Chiarello was present at the drawing along with Recording Secretary Martin, Administrative VP Alexander Kemp, and John Pescitelli, whose company, M3 Technology, sponsors the awards. The Zoom recording, which shows the reading of the names in real time, will be posted on the Local 100 site soon, along with the names of the 61 winners. 30 alternates were also drawn, if any winners can't provide documentation of college enrollment.

In the front row are Scholarship Fund Trustee Shannon Poland and Secretary Saida Bryant, who operated the spinning basket.
