In 2012 over $7,000 was raised and given as scholarships to local students. But more than money goes along with those scholarships. Someone who couldn’t imagine being able to go to college due to the cost, now takes a giant step towards fulfilling their dream of a college education. Getting a scholarship is a pat on the back, a vote of confidence, an amazing and encouraging message that someone believes in you and your ability to succeed. A scholarship expands horizons, changes lives forever and makes learning a new skill or pursuing a career possible. The college education that scholarships provide improves the life of not only the recipient but also the lives of their family members, present and future, by increasing their potential income and significantly decreasing the chance that they will be laid off from a job. For those who have so generously given items for the silent auction and for those who have bid on silent auction items, we gratefully acknowledge your gift. You have made a difference. Come to the Best of the Best and Business Showcase Gala on Monday, August 20 at the University of Maine Hutchinson Center from 5:30 – 8:00 p.m., join in the fun and bid on the many useful items, gift certificates and special opportunities there, and change a life!
