Hello CPRS District 10 Past Presidents!

It’s that time of year when we contact our past District 10 leaders to solicit support for the Past President Scholarship. Each year District 10 is pleased to award the Past President Scholarship to a deserving student in our service area.

Our goal this year is to raise $1,000 to fund a scholarship for an outstanding, up-and-coming Recreation professional. We are asking our Past Presidents to consider making a contribution toward this effort. If each past president from the last 25 years were to donate $40, we would hit our goal. We welcome and are grateful for any amount you are able to contribute to this year’s scholarship.

I am excited to announce that District 10 will match dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000! As a result, if the past presidents reach their goal of $1,000, the scholarship will now be $2,000. Should the donations exceed $1,000, the excess will simply be added on top of the $2,000 but not matched by District 10.

2025 Awards and Installation Banquet

The scholarship recipient will be presented with their award and check at the 2025 CPRS District 10 Awards and Installation Banquet in the City of Lakewood on Thursday, April 10th. The RSVP deadline is March 25, 2025.

In 2024, Amanda Cross was awarded the CPRS D10 Past President Scholarship. Since then, Amanda has celebrated a promotion to Assistant Supervisor with the City of Garden Grove and is excited to graduate in May of 2025 with a Masters Degree in Public Administration from CSULB.
