On Saturday, July 2, members of the Blue Gill Fishing Club presented their annual scholarship to a deserving high school student. This year\u2019s recipient was Johmar Chapman, a recent graduate of Toledo Technology Academy who will be attending the University of Toledo in the fall to major in mechanical engineering and technology.<\/p>\n

Blue Gill Fishing Club was organized in 1992 by five community men, initially as a social club. Over the years, the Blue Gill has also evolved into a service club that raises funds for scholarships, to feed neighborhood youth and to assist community action organizations in their missions.<\/p>\n

The Blue Gill Fishing Club\u2019s members annually raise money to donate funds to local agencies and to local scholars heading off to college.<\/p>\n

The $500 Chapman received will go to helping the young scholar with books and other expenses during his freshman year.<\/p>\n
