Alumni Scholarshi p Fund

The committee would like to encourage you to remember the Alumni Scholarship Fund in your estate planning. It is their intention to honor any gift or bequest of $10,000 or more by establishing a scholarship in that person or organization’s name. Please consider making a donation to the fund as you complete and mail your registration for the luncheon. Another way you can give is when the basket is passed during the luncheon (over $1,300 was collected last year!).
