Hello. I have been informed by Linda Andron that our fund only has
approximately 1600. She tells me that out of this money, approximately
1200 can be awarded.
My proposal (perhaps you can put this in the newsletter, Bev) is that
we close applications for this year. We can potentially reopen for
applications next year.
Our volunteer "subcommittee" for applications is presently going thru
the applications. The smaller group feels that awarding 2 bigger
scholarships is more likely to reach those in need than trying to do
the minischolarships. Please share any opinions you might have that
differ from the above! We will plan on notifying 2 families for awards
within the next few weeks.
My hope is that next year, more fundraising can be undertaken. I
hope that perhaps a parent with more time and talent than I have for
this venture might be willing to take "over the reins" and get this
fund moving! Anyone willing to spearhead next year is encouraged to
step forward for the chance to truly make a difference in a deserving
family.
As usual, any comments from the group are welcomed. Take care, Jen
