Because of the increase in costs of membership fees to the National Organization (Dollars for Scholars), the Kimball chapter decided to not renew and instead form our own community organization under the new name: Kimball Senior Scholarship Committee. We, as a committee felt we can better serve our students by giving all money raised back to them.
We would like to thank everyone who gave their time and talents to help put on such a great event, and also a big thank you to all contributors and silent auction donors; it was a successful evening.
