An Edgecliff resident has been honored by Bank of America with the company’s annual Leadership Excellence in Neighborhood Development award.

Richard Scott, a field engineer for Seafirst’s equipment management and support, is an active member of S.C.O.P.E. Edgecliff and Pratt Elementary School’s site council.

Scott is also a commissioner of the East Spokane Water District No. 1.

Bank of America, Seafirst’s parent corporation, will make a $1,000 donation to SCOPE Edgecliff in Scott’s name.

The award was developed by Bank of America’s Community Development Banking Group. It is given to employees who show outstanding leadership in their community.

Newman Lake SCOPE forming

Newman Lake residents are trying to establish a Sheriff’s Community-Oriented Policing Effort program in their area.

Two SCOPE organizational meetings were held in April and about 20 people submitted applications to volunteer in the program.

The next meeting of the Newman Lake S.C.O.P.E. will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Fire District 13’s Station No. 2, 16808 W. Newman Lake.

Subsequent meetings will be held the third Tuesday of every month. For more information, call 226-2882 or 226-3269.
