The Roanoke River Basin Association will present the R. Bolling Lambeth scholarship to Alexander Breakell of Roanoke at a luncheon at the Crossroads Restaurant in Gretna on Saturday, Oct. 11.
A business meeting will begin at 10 a.m. The scholarship will be presented during lunch. Tod Bensen, an expert on uranium mining with the Piedmont Environmental Council, will discuss uranium mining at 1 p.m. (emphasis here and above mine...SB)
"The public is encouraged to join us for the presentation and the very interesting afternoon program," said John Lindsey.
Breakell graduated from Patrick Henry High School and plans a career as an environmental engineer.
He was active in many community projects, and personally designed and built a demonstration 3,000-square-foot "wetlands" at the Roanoke waste water treatment facility to filter and cleanse storm water runoff from the plant grounds.
R. Bolling Lambeth was a resident of Bedford County, and a founder and first president of the Roanoke River Basin Association.
The association was chartered 60 years ago to promote the development, use, preservation and enhancement of the resources of the Roanoke River Basin in the best interests of present and future generations of basin residents.
Each year, graduating seniors from three counties from a different part of the basin are encouraged to compete for the R. Bolling Lambeth scholarship.
"We have been very encouraged by the consistent high quality of environmental and preservation projects performed by our applicants," said Lindsey.
Lunch will be buffet style with the Crossroads' famed "southern cooking."
