Good News

 Lizz Scott Given announces the Class of '57 Scholarship Fund
has exceeded the first goal of $10,000.00.  A gift of $6,000.00
took the total to a little over $11,000.00.
-
 
Donations are still encouraged as interest rates make it impossible
 to fund a $500 scholarship at this time.  The goal is $20,000.00.
