MYRA LONG SCHOLARSHIP FUND (MLSF)
The good news keeps on coming.
First, Carole Restovich reports that we have more applicants for the College Scholarships than we have received in the past. Several of the applicants are from PIH Health Whittier Hospital. The interviews will be in May.
Susan Halliday reports that our High School Scholarship applications are due no later than April 25th. We will be interviewing the girls May 3rd and hopefully introduce them at our June Branch meeting.
Our branch election on Saturday, April 12th gave us a new committee member. Dolores Gonzalez-Hayes will be joining the committee. Dolores is bi-lingual, a capable past president of our branch and has many contacts in the Hispanic community. We welcome her volunteer spirit and hope to use her organizational abilities in the Greater Whittier area.
We are in the planning stage of the STEM experience for the ten (10) girls at Los Nietos Middle School. This special project will be a unique activity in place of Tech Trek. The MLSF committee is completely dedicated to working with the school to enhance a learning environment for the selected female students.
