Please spread the word to local students and parents! We have eight scholarships that we are eager to award. Application details can be found within this newsletter or on our website.

After a year of online networking events, we are excited to reconnect and see you in person at our first after-hours networking event of 2021! We will be hosting a pop-up event at 1623 Brewing Company on Wednesday, May 19 at 5 pm! The Buckngrill food truck will be serving burgers & brats, pretzels, wings & other things. We hope to see you there!
