Mario Giuttari

The 2005 scholarship SOI recipient is Mario Giuttari who is a graduate of
Samuel Clemens High School. He plans to attend Texas Christian University.

Mario had outstanding grades in honors and advance placement classes. He demonstrated leadership ability as he was treasurer of his churches youth group, a student council representative, senator, and parliamentarian.

Mario was an active participant in church service projects which included
building a home or church for a small community each summer in the hot southTexas heat. His youth minister stated that Mario led the younger members of his team with a maturity of spit and compassion. His teachers and advisors also reported excellent comments such as, "Mario has demonstrated through perseverance and persistence that he not only has the will to win at whatever he does, but he also understands the hard work necessary to get there. His success will be because of the integrity and character with which he conducts his everyday life. He engenders trust and respect by being self-confident without arrogance. Mario is a natural leader who influences all of the students to perform at a higher standard." Our lodge wishes Mario the best in all his endeavors.
