JUNE 2021
Hello College Club members! It has been a long time since we
have been together. Our last meeting was in March of 2020 and then the pandemic
changed everything. Hoping that our newsletter finds you happy and healthy. As
I shared in the last newsletter, we will begin meeting again in October of
2021. The board of directors will meet in early September to discuss plans for
the upcoming year. Look for your next Megaphone in September for details on our
October meeting. We will have to get back in the habit of making our meeting
reservations once again.

Danielle Priest shared the following about our newest award
winner.
Our
scholarship winner for this year is Katherine Luick. Katherine has been active
in Newspaper Club, Exchange Club and Student Council. As a two-year varsity
swim captain and junior varsity basketball captain, she has learned (quoting
Katherine) "that positivity and mental endurance are two big keys to
success." She has received numerous honors for academic achievement.
Kathryn will graduate 16th in a class of 315 with an average of
100.38. You may know Kathryn if you are a frequent customer of Lake Effect Ice
Cream where she has worked the last two years.
Kathryn will
be attending SUNY Oswego as a major in Psychology with a minor in Criminology.
After receiving her Bachelor's in Psychology, she wants to go on and get a
doctorate in Philosophy. Megan Menges shared this quote from Kate 
to be involved in research and
testify in court for the criminally insane and to get people with mental
disorders proper care instead of shoving them in jail."Our warmest
congratulations go to Kate as we acknowledge her hard work in high school and
wish her all the best as she begins college in the fall.
Thank you also to our wonderful scholarship committee for all
their efforts during these difficult times.
The
officers, board of directors, and the scholarship committee would like to
remind our members of the challenges the last year has presented to Lockport
College Women's Club in its mission to provide scholarships for young women.
Val Hamluk was kind enough to write the following for the newsletter.
With the
COVID 19 pandemic, Lockport College Women's Club has missed two years of
fundraisers. The Scholarship Fund is supported by two main sources: our annual
fundraiser "Sunday for Scholarship" and one-half of our annual dues.
Although we have been able to continue to offer our scholarship, only one award
was presented this year. Some members have expressed an interest in making a
monetary donation to assist the scholarship fund since we were unable to host the annual fundraiser once again. If a member would like to support the scholarship fund directly, checks can be mailed to: Anna Beth Kinyon, 117 Windermere Road, Lockport, New York 14094. Please designate that the donation is for the scholarship fund. No amount is too small or too big. Our present and future recipients will put it to good use! Thank you for your consideration.
We are looking for a member who would like to join the board
and assist Nancy Fischer in planning programs and speakers. Call either Nancy
or Patty Russell.
Looking
forward to seeing everyone again in October. 
Enjoy your summer!
Patty Russell
