Jim Leo Memorial Scholarship
Jim Leo - consummate professional; ultimate volunteer
Jim Leo worked for the Everett Herald for over 47 years and was considered one of the top photojournalists in Washington State. He mentored several Everett-area photographers who became outstanding photojournalists in their respective communities.
Jim spent many years covering search and rescue efforts in Snohomish County, ultimately becoming a search and rescue volunteer. Ken Lakey, president of Snohomish County Search & Rescue, said that “Jim joined other volunteers to help those lost or hurt, often putting down his camera to aid those in need.”
For over 25 years, Jim was an outstanding volunteer for the LWRC, photographing many club events and producing the club’s newsletter.
Jim was also a volunteer for search and rescue in the Lake Wenatchee area and was the club’s search and rescue “guru.” He was instrumental in setting up a communication center based in the LWRC building.
We are proud to honor Jim's commitment to the LWRC and the Lake Wenatchee community by offering the Jim Leo Memorial Scholarship.
Jim Leo Memorial Scholarship
Even though COVID-19 restrictions have severely impacted our income, we think it is important to support youth in our area. We will continue offering the Jim Leo Memorial Scholarship, but at a reduced level ($600* instead of $1,000). The scholarship is available to Cascade High School seniors, local home-schooled students, and children/grandchildren of LWRC members (all students must be in good standing). Click on the Documents page to find the scholarship application.
*ANNOUNCEMENT: Thank you, Keith & Michele Lampers for donating $100 in 2022 toward the Jim Leo scholarship (their daughter won the scholarship in 2019!).
Congratulations, Maxwell Webb! Max is the winner of the 2021 LWRC Jim Leo Scholarship!
