College for Kids Scholarships

    At the request of St. Peter's Church ECW group, Julie Crippen talked about College for Kids, the Culinary Arts program and Con Ed classes. She gave course catalogs and response cards. She had three people sign up who were interested in the culinary program. The group had given $540 to our scholarship program for College for Kids this past summer. They told me they would like to fund student scholarships for College for Kids again.
