Hi everybody!

Well, it’s that time of year and applications are starting to come in.  I’ve got one from my school and two from different schools around town.

I need your help.  I need some volunteers who would be willing to read over all of the essays and help to decide who gets a scholarship.

I keep myself out of the selection process though I will act as a tie breaker if necessary.

If you’re interested in reading 10 or 20 essays, please send me an email and I’ll be in contact with you.

Application deadline is March 1st, so shortly thereafter I will be sending out packets for you all to select from.

Thanks very much.  If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.
