MAKEUPS!
WEEKLY WORDS OF WISDOM:
BIRTHDAY FUND/JCC SCHOLARSHIPS The Birthday Fund provides funding to our Scholarships at JCC. If you are having a birthday, or have had one recently, do not forget to donate to the Birthday Fund. With your donations, we were able to award six scholarships to Jefferson Community College this year. Do you know that as a Rotarian, if you have children or grandchildren attending JCC, they will be considered for one of the scholarships if they meet the criteria? The Office now has applications for our scholarships to JCC. The scholarship criteria calls for preference for the award to be given to someone related to a Rotarian. If any of our members has a family member attending JCC in the fall and would like an application, please contact Marshal. There are six scholarships. Applications must be filled out and returned to the Financial Aid office at JCC by March 31, 2003! Thanks to Mary Parry and Tom O'Connor for their recent donations.
Ruth Chapin Besides being the wife of our own Rotarian, Bill Chapin, Ruth is the Cancer Outreach Coordinator for the Carthage Area Hospital. Ruth will focus on the Select Program with which the hospital is participating. The Select Program is an international research project examining the effect of Selenium and Vitamin E on the reduction of the likelihood of prostate cancer.
