Mike Rice represented WTC at the banquet and awarded the scholarship certificates to each of the winners. "I would challenge each of you scholarship winners to give serious consideration to returning back to these communities that have educated and nurtured each of you to this pivotal time in your life," said Rice, Assistant Manager of WTC. "Go get your education and life experiences elsewhere but consider returning to raise your children and build the future of these communities in which you grew up."
