Rory Petterson earns multiple honors

On Wednesday, June 3, Rory Petterson of Sisters was presented the Sisters VFW Post 8138 Boy Scout of the Year Award by Bill Anttila, Commander, and Earl Schroeder, Vice Commander, and post members.

The award ceremony was held at Sisters City Hall.

Rory was the recipient of this year's award, certificate and check for $100, for his dedication to community service projects in Sisters. One of his most recent projects was assisting in the construction of the pavilion at Fir Street Park. 

Last month, Petterson was the recipient of one of The Center Foundation's awards of $1,500, scholarships granted to Central Oregon high school juniors who maintain high academic standards, participate in extracurricular activities and leadership in their schools, and are involved in community service.

Scholarships were awarded at the Salute to Heroes Dinner hosted at the Bend Country Club. The Center Foundation had well over 100 applicants this year, interviewed 27, and awarded 16 scholarships.
