This year’s recipients for the Gary Compton Teen Community Service Scholarship are Zoey LeSueur, Madison Minsk and Katy VanderWalker.

This is the sixth year that the American Legion Post 161 has supported the teens in Redmond, honoring them for their community service achievements. All three recipients received $1,500 scholarships they can use for academic needs.

Combined, the three recipients gave more than 470 hours of service to the community since last summer. A requirement is that half of the service is given back in Redmond and many of them exceeded that.

“It is great that we can honor these young people for what they have given to the community and we encourage others to support this so we can give more to our caring youth,” said Cmdr Jim Broe with the American Legion.
