2023 DONATIONS TO CHARITIES
The final figures are in for the car show, and we will be able to donate $19,950 to local charities this year. This is almost quadrupled the amount of monetary donations made to our local charities since the first show in 2021. This year, LOCC chose seven area charities who each received a $2,850 monetary donation from LOCC. The checks were awarded by a few LOCC members who dedicated their time to soliciting sponsors and raising items for the very successful silent auction. LOCC would also like to thank the work these local charities do for our Lake communities!

2023 SCHOLARSHIPS
Benjamin Franklin is quoted as stating hundreds of years ago, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
With a similar belief, LOCC continues to support area students from the Eldon Career Center and the Lake Career and Technical Center in Camdenton pursuing further education in the automotive related fields. This year, three scholarship applicants were each awarded a $ 1,000 scholarship after meeting qualifications.
On Tuesday, May 9th, President Mike Funk travelled to Eugene High School to attend their Decision Day ceremony. He was happy to present graduating senior, Sophie Baldwin with the first $ 1,000 scholarship on the behalf of LOCC. Sophie and Mike are pictured below.
The morning of Wednesday, May 10th, Mike travelled to Eldon High School and awarded the second $ 1,000 scholarship to Brock Heiland during the Eldon Senior awards ceremony. Mike is pictured below presenting the certificate to Brock.
The evening of Wednesday, May 10th, Mike was privileged to attend the LCTC awards ceremony where he awarded the final $ 1,000 scholarship award to Adrian Biddle. Mike and Adrian are pictured below. Mike says it was one of the greatest privileges to award these honors to these graduates.
