Each year in April the Falmouth Rotary Club sponsors a spaghetti dinner as a fundraiser for the scholarships they give seniors upon graduation and to help with their college expenses. All of their proceeds go toward that scholarship fund.

This year's date is Friday, April 12 at the St. Frances Xavier Hall behind the church on Second St. in Falmouth from 5-7 p.m.

Falmouth Rotarian Mark Aulick will be providing the music.

There will also be a silent auction that you can bid on.

Above is a handmade basket made from tobacco sticks. It was created by Bill Mitchell.

The small community is fortunate to have organizations that work hard for the students. If you look at The Falmouth Outlook each year there are photos of seniors receiving scholarships and listed are all the local clubs, classes, individuals, and organizations that make it possible. That's why it's important to attend these fundraisers and help the clubs and organizations. If you can't stop to eat then give a donation to them.

Dr. Albert Miller was invited to speak to the ninth and tenth grade students at Pendleton County High School by NJROTC Commander Joel Nahari. Dr. Miller addressed these young people in the school’s auditorium at 12:15 p.m. on March 26.

All freshmen English classes at PCHS require the reading of a book called, "Night" by Elie Wiesel. This literary work concerns the Holocaust in Europe which involved the execution of 11,000,000 human beings by the Third Reich of Nazi Germany.

Dr. Albert Miller grew up in Germany during the time (1920-1945) that the Third Reich was in power. He witnessed the anti-Semitism practiced by the Nazi regime.

Randi Rering, pictured above, was honored at an assembly at Northern Elementary on Friday, March 22.

Randi received a liver transplant last March and has been unable to return to school. She was recognized for her exceptional courage, attitude, teamwork and spirit by her former teachers and classmates.

Randi truly exemplifies what a Northern Bobcat should be!

Did you ever realize when you read articles in the newspapers about unclaimed monies that your name could be on the list? Well this is no trick. Make sure you check this information out.

Kentucky State Treasurer Todd Hollenback and Dir. of Disbursements and Accounting Thomas Scally attended the Falmouth Rotary Club meeting on Thursday, March 28 in Falmouth. He told Rotary members about this program and asked for their assistance in getting the word out. The program is called "Treasure Finders."

Besides unclaimed refunds for car insurance, you may find unclaimed dividends, old checking accounts left with money in them, tobacco settlement money, or other entities.
