Fulfill a Dream, Retain
a Legacy
For those of you who received
a scholarship and went on to college, remember how the scholarship
helped you get started. For those of you who did not receive
a scholarshop but still went on to succeed in life, think of
how a scholarship may have helped you move forward more quickly
on the road to success.
The Globe High School Alumni
Scholarship Fund still needs your help to reach it's full endowment
of $50,000 to assure funding of the annual scholarship in perpetuity.
Detailed information on the origin of this scholarship can be
found on the scholarship page.
Of the contemporaries of scholarship founder Chuck Lee, only
Betty Watson and Jukie Carnell, both of Globe, remain on the
committee. Two volunteers from the 1960s, Frank Lara and Rudy
Rodriguez, both Valley residents, have come aboard. The committee
needs more and younger volunteers!
The fund, which soared to over
$47,000 after the funeral of its founder, Chuck O. Lee, in April
2001, dipped to $35,000 at one point but has rebounded slightly
(currently at $41,036) due to the recent contributions for the
state championships. However, due to scholarships awards in the
last two years and the decline in contributions, only $1,750
was awarded this year (2003) for the scholarship instead of the
usual $2,000.
I again ask you to open your
wallets and your checkbooks and contribute to this worthy scholarship
so it can reach it's full endowment of $50,000.
