Christine Clark Memorial Scholarship Bader Family Scholarship Dr. Frank Mellion Memorial Scholarship Family & Memorial Scholarship Program Annual event honors donors and student recipients On May 12, 2008 the Annual Family & Memorial Scholarship Reception was held in the STVM Student Center. A record-breaking 300 donors, scholarship recipients, and their families enjoyed the evening dinner reception which opened with a presentation by the STVM Irish Dance Team. The 2008 theme was legatum (Latin. legacy) which represents the many donors who so generously support STVM students and also celebrates the students who benefit from these Matt Kauffman Memorial Scholarship scholarships. Both now and in the years to come our students have the opportunity to further share in this legacy and support future students by donating to scholarships. Following brief remarks by Susie Gaebel Wallace VM91, Financial Aid Coordinator, Rev. Thomas A. McGovern said the blessing. This legacy and desire to give back was evidenced by the generous honor gift donations made by the scholarship students and their parents. A check was presented to the Endowment Board in the amount of $1,439.38 for the General Endowment which funds scholarships and tuition assistance. It was a memorable evening for the donors and the students marked by two special announcements. Mrs. Joanne Zaratsian, Director of Major Gifts, provided an update on the GAR Foundation Challenge Grant which benefits our Endowment. Joanne presented the names of the newly established scholarships (Pg. 22). Lastly, the STVM Class of 2008 announced that their class gift to STVM is the establishment of the Marie Daily Stephenson VM85 Memorial Scholarship. Our community is blessed to have such a strong legatum and tradition! Lynch Family Scholarship
