To use a credit card, go to the PSU Foundation website: psuf.org Did you attend the RAPS Holiday party this year? Yes, there was a party, via ZOOM. There were many attendees and we had a good time. But, as with many remote substitutes, there were also missing elements. Dressing up, moving around, chatting with those you hadn’t seen for a time, eating brunch together. And there was no bake sale—no goodies to take home. Since 2011-12, RAPS has awarded a scholarship every year to a student whose interest is focused on an aspect of gerontology. One of the sources of funding for the scholarship is the holiday party bake sale. This is an example of many ways in which the scholarship fund has lost revenue this year. No in-person activities means no door prizes. No travel means no income from Collette Tours. We are limited to appeals, such as this one, if we are to sustain RAPS’s ability to award a scholarship each year. More than ever we need your help to continue awarding scholarships. Please consider a sustaining gift to help us “stay in business.” Thank you!
