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.

A Molalla Alumni Author

Joan Hibbs (Class of 1955) has written a new kids book coming out early 2010.  It is called The Puppy Who Wanted to Fly and is about Puddy Wuddy, a puppy who dreams he can fly.

Here is my next book. It is a picture book for children 3 - 8 years old. It makes a perfect gift for any holiday - perhaps Valentines day.

Parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts & uncles will love reading -this colorful and fun picture book to the children in their lives! The Puppy Who Wanted to Fly is in print and will arrive in a week. Please let me know if you would like to purchase an autographed copy at a special friends & family price of $10.00 each. Add $3.00 shipping fee if you want it delivered to your home.
