AN EXAMPLE OF SERVICE ABOVE SELF:
Dorothy Uscola was a long-time member of the Burley Rotary Club and was our club’s first woman president (the first of many to later follow.) Her life was a wonderful example of what it means to serve others. For decades Dorothy would play the piano for Rotary-club meetings, her own church services , and countless other community events. She selflessly served as a member of many local boards and groups including: Bobcat Boosters, the Cassia Healthcare Foundation, PEO, the King Fine Arts Auxiliary, Mt. Harrison Heritage Foundation, Community Concert Board, Iris Homes and Gardens, and the Heyburn Alumni Association. Dorothy was a multi-time Paul Harris Fellow recipient having donated thousands of dollars to global causes like ending Polio and supporting education – both locally and abroad. Her love for education and the goal of helping the younger generation to become their best selves was always a joy to her. It is with her endowment (a final act of selfless service) that we are able to present these scholarships to so many of the youth in the Cassia-County School District.
