Ok, we said we would tell you about a project that our fundraising supports. We just got so excited about our Quarter Auction that we snuck it in there.
So What is it we do with the money raised at our events? One big project is Scholarships. Yes, each year we give at least 4- $1000 scholarships to college students. We have been doing so since 1990.
Our Janice Southworth Memorial Scholarship goes to Lake County students acceptd to an accredited 2 or 4 yr college program, in the fields of speech, hearing, visually impaired, physical therapy, social work, elementary or secondary education. Minimum GPA of 2.5 An essay is require along with 2 letters of recommendation. The applications are reviewed in the spring (due April 15th) and presented at our June picnic.
Janice Southworth was a Quota member that passed away several years ago, in a car accident, on her way to Kent,Ohio. Her husband donated the money in her name to start the scholarship and it continues still today.
If you or someone you know is interested in applying for our scholarship, please use the email karen5676@att.net to get an application, or you can call Debbie Lilly @ 440-346-5595.
