Congratulations to all of this year’s scholarship winners!
Our gratitude to Katie Gibbs and Mary Anne Villwock for their continued efforts and dedication towards our scholarship program. This year they once again selected 3 outstanding women to be the recipients. Mikala Welter, from Lakeport, is studying child development and hoping to work with autistic children. Jaime Calvino-Pichierri, from Fort Bragg, is studying to become a special education teacher. Lisa Baker, from Lucerne, who received our scholarship last year as well is studying Business Administration. Congratulations and our wishes for a bright future.
