Hermann Sons Award Scholarships

Round Top Hermann Sons Lodge No. 151 had the opportunity to award their first ever scholarships. This celebration was on Thursday evening, June 25. Lila Garlin, president, called the event to order with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag followed with the common table prayer. Linda Mattocks presented the first scholarship to Megan Krause, daughter of Calvin and Suzanne Krause. Megan will be attending Blinn College in the fall with a goal for a career as a dental hygienist. Her parents and sister Mallery, all members of our lodge, brought their support. The second scholarship winner was Aiden Wagner, son of Jason and Karen Wagner. Aiden will be attending Texas A&M University in the fall and is working toward a degree in aerospace engineering. His plans include flying and possibly working at NASA with the space program. His parents and grandparents, Wayne and Pearlie Wagner, all members of the lodge, were his special guests. Both of these seniors have received other scholarships and could qualify as professional speakers. Their remarks were enjoyed by all. Gary Goebel with the help of Herman and Alejendra Alba served a meal of barbecue on a bun with beans, potato salad, pickles, onions and tea. Dessert was a special cake in honor of the graduates.
