Gilbert Year of the Woman Commission scholarship contest
Gilbert Year of the Woman Commission scholarship contest
The commission would like for applicants to prepare a
multi-media presentation or an essay of 500 words or less, about a woman that
has had a positive impact.
The contest is open to college students or Carroll County
school children, whether they are in public or private schools or being
home-schooled.
Please email your submission to WESTMINSTERREC@WESTGOV.COM
The subject line must read: YOW SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST
Please include your name and contact information in the body
of the email.
The prize to be awarded is $500.00.
Deadline: June 1, 2020
In January the Westminster Gilbert Commission established a
multi-media scholarship contest for the City of Westminster’s celebration of
the Year of the Woman in honor of the 100th anniversary of the passage of the
19th Amendment.
The 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to
vote, was ratified on August 18, 1920 after a long struggle known as the
women's suffrage movement.
On May
3rd, our Time Flies discussion centered on the Westminster Year of
the Woman Commission spearheaded by Westminster Councilwoman Ann Gilbert and
the leadership of the Westminster Family Center and the Recreation and Parks
Department of the City of Westminster.
It was in late February – early March that the commission
initially announced a multi-media scholarship contest for the City of
Westminster’s celebration of the Year of the Woman. Soon after that the
scholarship contest, much of our daily lives were overtaken by the Coronavirus
Pandemic of 2020.
Although the commission has received some essays, it was
recently decided to extend the submission deadline until June 1st.
According to the contest guidelines, the commission would like for applicants
to prepare a multi-media presentation or an essay of 500 words or less, about a
woman that has had a positive impact. Subject matters could include but are not
limited to historical or public figures or a woman you know personally. The
contest is open to college students or Carroll County school children, whether
they are in public or private schools or being home-schooled
Submissions are due by the end of the business day on June 1st,
2020.
Please email your submission to WESTMINSTERREC@WESTGOV.COM.
The subject line must read: YOW SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST.
Please include your name and contact information in the body
of the email. The prize to be awarded is $500.00.
The commission was quick to add that this is donated money and
not taxpayer money.

Just a few months ago, in January, Westminster Councilwoman Ann
Thomas Gilbert gathered many leaders from throughout the county to a meeting to
brainstorm how to celebrate the Year of the Woman in Westminster and the many
milestones in our local community such as the first women jurors in May 1957.
In Westminster, Gilbert assembled local leaders that
included Abby Gruber, Kristen McMasters, Sandra L. Anderson, Stephanie McCown,
Jessica Taylor, Heather Mullendore, Melissa Thompson, Kati Townsend, Tasha
Cramer, Christina Kuntz, and Val Giovagnoni. For a while, Kevin Dayhoff was the
token male in the group. Later I was joined by Steven Jakobovic, the new
director of the Historical Society of Carroll County.

The Community Foundation of Carroll County is seeking applicants for the Mike Eaton scholarship fund.
The Community Foundation of Carroll County is seeking
applicants for the Mike Eaton scholarship fund.
By Kevin Dayhoff May 3, 2020
Since 2011 a Mike Eaton Scholarship has been awarded
annually to recognize inspirational teachers, like Eaton, in the lives of the
current graduating class of Westminster High School.
The purpose of the fund is to honor the life of WILLIAM GRANVILLE
”MIKE” EATON by providing a scholarship(s) for a Westminster High School
graduating senior(s) and an annual award for an outstanding teacher at that
same school both based on the criteria established for this fund in the
application
One of the requirements of the scholarship is that the
student write an essay about their most inspirational teacher.
More information about the scholarship may be found on the
Community Foundation of Carroll County website. Find it at http://tinyurl.com/Mike-Eaton-CFCC.
For a copy of the scholarship application click here.
More information about the life and times of William
Granville "Mike" Eaton may be found in article that appeared in the Carroll
County Times on March 1, 2019, by Kevin Dayhoff.
An article titled, “Dayhoff: 'Indubitably,' remembering Mike
Eaton, who taught so many in our community’ reports, Many folks in Carroll
County have heard of William Granville “Mike” Eaton at some point in their
life. Eaton taught English and drama in Carroll County Public Schools for 41
years before he retired in 1971 — 36 at Westminster High School.
He was one of the many friendly and kind patriarchs in
Carroll County for over a half-century. He passed away from cancer on April 24,
1995; however he maintains to this day, a profound influence over who we are as
a community.
Eaton was born in Centerville on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland on June 22, 1908. He came to Westminster in 1926 to attend Western
Maryland College, where he graduated in 1930. It was in that year that he began
his teaching career at Elmer A. Wolfe High School in Union Bridge.
In the early 1930s, he concurrently earned his master’s
degree, in 1935, from Columbia University in New York.
After a year at Elmer Wolfe, he taught for three years at
Charles Carroll High School in Silver Run before coming to Westminster to teach
at the original 1898 Westminster High School on Center Street.
He was there for only one year before the “new” Westminster
High School opened on Longwell Avenue, where he taught for the entire life of
the building as a high school, in Room 106.
Eaton nurtured future leaders through the Kiwanis Key Club
and inspired many students, friends, and colleagues to great success. Among his
students was writer, director, and actor Ernest Thompson whose work includes
“On Golden Pond.” Thomas has subsequently, over the years, won an Oscar, a
Golden Globe and Writer’s Guild of America awards.
