“Everyone wins when people get an opportunity to show what they can do.” -Bob Ontiveros
Bob Ontiveros’ grandfather immigrated to Davenport from Mexico, and he and his siblings were raised with a strong work ethic. “As a child, if you wanted new shoes, you had to find the money. You had to work hard for it. You should have seen me as a kid walking down the block, asking people if I could cut their grass or clean their garage. I saw hard work in my parents. I saw it in my grandparents.” However, work is not the only thing he learned from his family in his youth. Despite having little, his mother not only raised the twelve family members in her home, but she fed most of the neighborhood. “If a child needed a meal, you were welcome in our home.” Working hard and providing an opportunity to others is synonymous with the Ontiveros family legacy.

Iowa Quad Cities Rotary – Doug & Lou Peterson “Mr. & Mrs. Rotary” Recognition Scholarship

This sixth scholarship, created in 2022, by members of the Iowa Quad Cities Rotary Club is to honor of one of their loyal and long-standing members, Doug Peterson and his wife, Louann. Doug is a past president of the club and has served on the Board of Directors for many years, currently in the position of club secretary. Doug and Lou initiated the club’s involvement in the International Rotary Youth Exchange Program by serving as host “Mom & Dad” for many exchange students in their home, while attending a year of high school in America. In addition, Doug and Lou headed up the district-wide Rotary Youth Exchange program for many years, overseeing the sponsorship of hundreds of inbound and outbound foreign exchange students, to help foster world peace and understanding within our global community. Doug has served on numerous boards and held positions of leadership within District 6000 of Rotary International, including assistant district governor.
Doug and his late wife, Lou, loved to serve Rotary together — especially by travelling to annual International Rotary Conventions, held in different cities throughout the world. It was always a treat for them to reestablish old friendships that were created under the Rotary “wheel”. They especially enjoyed reconnecting with past exchange students, of whom they have had the pleasure of hosting.
Since retiring from his job as an Industrial Engineer at Deere and Co., Doug has remained active in his church, by among other things, directing the church choir; and he still enjoys playing his double-belled euphonium in various brass ensembles and bands in the QC area.
Doug is a multiple Paul Harris Fellow, a Sustaining Member of the RI Foundation, and a leading advocate of Rotary International’s quest to end the worldwide polio virus, through his continuous support and advocacy of the Rotary Foundation.

Scott County Voiture #77 Nursing Scholarship

La Societe des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux is an independent, by invitation, honor organization of U.S. veterans, more commonly known as the forty and eight.
The forty and eight is committed to charitable and patriotic aims. Our purpose is to uphold and defend the United States Constitution, to promote the well being of veterans and their widows and orphans, and actively participate in selected charitable endeavors, which include programs that promote child welfare and nurses training.
The titles and symbols of the forty and eight reflects it’s First World War origins. Americans were transported to the battle front on French trains within boxcars stenciled with a “40/8”, denoting its capacity to hold either forty men or eight horses. This uncomfortable mode of transportation was familiar to all who fought in the trenches; a common small misery among American soldiers who thereafter found “40/8” a lighthearted symbol of the deeper service, sacrifice and unspoken honors of war that bind all who have born the battle.
The forty & eight was founded in 1920 by American veterans returning from France. Originally an arm of the American Legion, the Forty & Eight became an independent and separately incorporated veteran’s organization in 1960. Membership is by invitation of honorably discharged veterans and honorably serving members of the United States Armed Forces.
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need and such personal qualities as patriotism, character, and leadership abilities as demonstrated in school and community activities.
The application, which can be found here, must be completed and returned to Voiture #77 on or before April 15th in care of:

The Details
At My Service Depot, we’re proud to provide our Smart Service software to help field service companies run their businesses.
