From the Principal’s Office Q I’m not going to list all the awardees from the Academy as they have been sent to several venues, but we had lots. U I enjoyed my very first IC and hope to make it to another one sometime. It won’t be next year, unfortunately. 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.

He mentioned that it would be a good idea for chapters to have a special Academy Degree Program 22 penny jar/piggy bank to put the change in when folks go to 0 their meetings.
