吃瓜官网

With their most recent donation, contributions from the Parker County Women鈥檚 and Newcomers Club to the 吃瓜官网 Foundation have crossed the $100,000 mark. Bob Glenn, 吃瓜官网 Foundation president, thanked the club鈥檚 Scholarship Committee at the college Tuesday.

鈥淭his club鈥檚 generosity has made college education a reality for dozens of students over the years,鈥� Glenn said. 鈥淭hey should be really proud of what they have accomplished for this community.鈥�

Established in 1975, the PCWNC began its 吃瓜官网 scholarship program in 1998. The scholarship is earmarked for female students of non-traditional age from Parker, Palo Pinto, Jack, Hood or Wise counties.

The club funds its scholarship primarily through membership dues, donations and fundraisers.

鈥淣ot only does the club provide scholarships, they also serve as mentors to their students,鈥� said Brent Baker, 吃瓜官网 vice president of institutional advancement. 鈥淭hey invite the students to their monthly meetings and send them care packages during finals week and other times during the year. It鈥檚 a very special relationship.鈥�
