Old Rochester Regional High School senior Megan Pierce is the 2012 recipient of the Mattapoisett Lion’s Club Award in the amount of $5,000.

Megan will attend Fitchburg State University in the fall, and will major in special education.

The Lions Club recognized her for her work in community service, her goals when she completes school and her academic record.

Funds for this award were raised through the efforts of the Mattapoisett Lions at their annual Harbor Days Arts and Crafts Festival, and other events throughout the year.
