Rebekah
Lodge donates to local scholarship fund
The Molalla Alumni
Scholarship Fund Board is delighted to announce receipt
of a $10,000 donation from the Molalla Oak Rebekah Lodge
#159.
This money is to be used
to create a newly named scholarship (the Molalla Oak
Rebekah Lodge Scholarship) to be awarded next spring to
a 2009 Molalla River High School senior.
Our heartfelt thanks are
extended to the ladies of Molalla’s Rebekah Lodge not
only for their generous donation, but also for their
kindness and consideration in helping Molalla seniors to
further their education.
All donations are
invested with the sole purpose of awarding scholarships
each spring to active and deserving Molalla High School
seniors.
We now have four named
scholarships that have been created by individuals or
groups who have donated $10,000 or more to the Alumni
Fund.
