SOME HISTORY
Lou Holekamp Scholarships: Lou Holekamp, owner of Holekamp Lumber and a long-time member of Kirkwood Rotary contributed funds as part of the initial efforts to endow our Kirkwood Rotary Scholarships. His son, Bill, as a tribute to his dad, further donated funds for additional Holekamp scholarships.
Reim Scholarship: Bob Reim, a former Mayor of Kirkwood (the “Reim Theater” at the Kirkwood Community Center, where Kirkwood Theater Guild holds its performances, is named for him), was the owner of Color Art. His son-in-law, Jim Marr, a long-time member of Kirkwood Rotary donated the funds in Bob's honor to start the Reim scholarship.
