I have spent the majority of the day reading through scholarship applications from upcoming graduates of our local high school. Tomorrow morning a group of us will meet and go over our ranking and prepare to give $2,500 to six different people.
I have been a part of this organization for almost 25 years. The first year we gave one $500 scholarship to one young man. Through the charitable donations of many people we are now giving away $15,000 a year! Incredible! And we still have money in the bank for the next round.
This year is the first year we will be giving $2,500 to a post-graduate. Anyone out of school (having graduated from THS) for 1 year or more is eligible to apply. We have two applicants for the post-graduat scholarship, a 39 year old and a 24 year old.
If by chance someone reads this and would like more information we have a web page at:

and a Facebook page at:

We are always looking for those who wish to contribute to the future of those looking to educate themselves!
I love giving money away to the deserving people who go out and do more for themselves and our world!!
