A message from our Board of Directors...
Happy February! We’ve flown through January right into the season of love. Although February is the shortest month of the year, there is no shortage of exciting announcements to share.
We are happy to announce that the 2021 SCBA Scholarship Fund Application is ready and has been distributed to local high schools. This year we are awarding eight (8) $1,000 scholarships. The deadline to apply is April 30th (must be postmarked by this date). Details are included in this newsletter and on the SCBA website. Good luck to all!
Save the date: Our 2020 Scramble Golf Tournament has been scheduled for Tuesday, September 21, 2021. 100% of the net proceeds go towards the SCBA Scholarship Fund. Additional details will follow.
Keep an eye out, our 2021 SCBA Directory, published by Trembling Giant Marketing, will be mailed within the next few weeks. This directory, displaying our wonderful SCBA members will be sent to 15,000 homes in Carroll County!
As always, we encourage you to participate in our events and to support each other and our great community. Follow us on Facebook, and visit our website to keep up to date with the SCBA.
Sincerely, The SCBA Board of Directors

Our next speaker or sponsor could be YOU! |

Become a Speaker: A speaker is given approximately 15 minutes for a presentation about a topic that is informational and helpful to our guests, and then may answer any questions the group might have. Benefits to speaking at our member luncheon include: drawing ‘attention’ to your organization or business; meeting new people and making strong business connections within the SCBA community; and helping others by delivering useful information.
Become a Sponsor: One of our SCBA membership opportunities is the option to sponsor a monthly luncheon. This not only allows the SCBA to bring important information to our members, but it allows you to get much more exposure for your own business or organization. The cost to be a lunch sponsor is $150. If you'd like to sponsor in 2021, contact Patti Murphy at scbaoperations@gmail.com for more information.
