fundraiser for our scholarship. A total profit of $4,072.28 was raised for our
scholarships Lucille Cannata and Shirley Frombgen did a wonderful job putting
the event together and would like your suggestions on how to improve the annual
scholarship fundraiser. Please email any suggestions to Lucille Cannata,
timer18@aol.com or to Shirley Frombgen, bsfrombgen@gmail.com. We appreciate
your feedback.
The scholarship fund also received a donation from Leslie
Mocha (Small Indulgences) of $90. Scholarship has also received a total of $275
in memory of Margaret Schomers and a generous donation from Jane Whitmore.
These donations have made for many reasons whether to honor a member or in
memory of one or to recognize the impact College Club has made to someone.

Hammond and Sage Donovan, the recipients of this year’s scholarship. Robyn will
be attending the University of Rochester and Sage will be attending Clarkson.

the home of Patty Russell 102 Continental Dr., Lockport at 7:00.
This will be the last Megaphone that I will put together. I
would like to thank the members of the board, especially Monica Pullano and
Patty Russell, who have helped with articles for publishing, and Shirley Wagner
for mailing it out. As they say many hands make light work. It is my highest
hope that someone will come forward to take over this position as I can no
longer do it.
