10 w1w1 mwiwiw:m ANOKA HIGH SCHOOL THEATER TO PRESENT VIOLET The Anoka High School Theater Department will present the musical Violet this summer, in preparation for performing at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland in August. AHS is one of only 12 high schools in the U.S. to be invited to the Festival! Violet was the winner of the 1996- 1997 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical. The show traces a young woman's journey across the American South in 1964 in search of a miracle cure for a disfiguring facial scar. The play offers a mix of Southern music, including gospel, country, pop, and the blues, as it explores miracles, faith, healing, and the power of love. In addition, the Theater Department will present a variety show, Reflections, which will highlight some of the best musical and dance numbers from director Kent Knutson's 12 years at Anoka High School. This show will feature the talents of current and former AHS students. Proceeds from these shows will help finance the trip to Scotland. Come celebrate their success and wish them well as they represent our community, our state, and our nation at the Fringe Festival in Scotland! Show Times: Violet - July 26 & 27 and August 1, 2, & 3 Reflections - July 29 & 30 All shows are at 7:30 at Anoka High School. For tickets, call 763 -506- 6439 or visit www.anokatheatre.com. RAMSEY LIONS SCHOLARSHIPS The Ramsey Lions sponsor several college scholarship programs. For Ramsey residents currently enrolled in undergraduate programs at an accredited school, approximately 10 such scholarships were awarded in 2001. Please obtain an application from any Ramsey Lions Club member or Bill Weiss Insurance Agency, 5926 167th Av. NW, Ramsey, Ph: 763- 753 -5903. An official grade transcript is required as part of the application and the application is due August 31. Please note that while the Lions sponsor the scholarships, the awards are made by an independent scholarship committee. Awards vary from year to year and students are encouraged to apply each year. The Ramsey Lions sponsor separate scholarships for high school seniors planning on higher education. Anoka High School and Elk River Area High School determine which students receive these scholarships. Each school awarded two $750 scholarships this spring. Students should apply to their school during their senior year. The Lions also sponsor scholarships at Anoka-Hennepin Technical College and Anoka- Ramsey Community College. Ramsey residents attending either of these schools should apply to their schoo directly. RAMSEY LIONS COMMUNITY PICNIC THANK YOU CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2002!
