PORTSMOUTH - The Creek Athletic Club awarded its 2015 scholarship, during Tuesday night's National Night Out celebration, to a local student for her college education.
Honored with a $1,000 scholarship from the CAC was Madolyn Chavez in the amount of $1,000, who will be attending Keene State College in the fall, announced CAC member and local attorney Alec McEachern. Chavez plans to major in elementary education, he said.
Chavez is the twelfth annual recipient of the Club's scholarship, which is awarded to a student from the Creek neighborhood who has lettered in a varsity sport at Portsmouth High School.
Pronounced "Crick" Athletic Club by members and natives, the club is comprised of about 60 members of the Creek neighborhood. The club's meeting house is located at 251 Bartlett St. and is known for housing an 1872 horse-drawn fire truck called "The Eureka" that's rolled out annually during National Night Out.
