Summer Conference for High School Students
The Iris Garden Club is seeking three high school students who are interested in the environment and would like to attend the SEEK 2007 Conference on the University of Florida campus during July 8–11. SEEK (Save the Earth’s Environment Through Knowledge) is an annual statewide conference for high school students sponsored by the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs.
Wakulla students currently attending 9th, 10th, or 11th grade are invited to apply for a conference scholarship (a $200 value) Each scholarship will cover the cost of the conference fee, meals, & dormitory lodging on campus. Students must provide their own transportation to and from the conference.
Conference activities typically include interesting presentations, hands-on workshops, field trips, and a panel discussion of careers in environmental science and conservation.
The Iris Garden Club will award three scholarships to the 2007 SEEK conference. In 2005, the Iris Garden Club funded scholarships for Lucy Carter and Krista Hensley. Additional funding was obtained to send Lesley Baker as well. In 2006, the Iris Garden Club funded scholarships for Tiffany Treltas and Cataia Ives.
