A According to Tammy Willcox, our Scholarship director, she, Bran Stimpson and Linda Olsen have an email R exchange going on regarding some fliers/tri-folds to be used to promote the scholarship program both internally via membership packets and possible recruiting at T colleges and/or conventions and events where STARFLEET members are recruiting people. According to Linda Olson, $174.00 was collected for the Scholarship Fund through new or renewing memberships, bringing a E total donated thru Membership Processing to $403.00 for Promotions the next fiscal year. 2 R Outstanding Students There was a great deal of flak about the Pennies project 3 that R12 started last year prior to this year's IC.
