Thanks to your generosity, we are again this year awarding a scholarship. The recipient has not yet been selected, but a decision will be made in the next few weeks, and then we will introduce the student to you. The RAPS Scholarship is funded through member donations. As we begin this year, we return to an open campus and the opportunity to raise money for the scholarship in the customary ways. As in the past, at the general meetings you will find a basket for donations. Those who attend the general meetings have been generous. And we will continue to have a donation form as part of the RAPS Sheet. A major source of funding is travel with Collette tours; Collette has a program that provides a rebate for worthy organizations that promote their tours. With travel again being possible, we expect to offer a RAPS tour soon. We hope you will join the RAPS tour or travel on a different tour with Collette. Watch for announcements! This has been a major source of funds for our scholarship. Larry Sawyer manages this program. Additionally, there are occasional special events or campaigns to raise money for the scholarship. The first of these will probably be the Holiday Sale—mostly a bake sale, but featuring also some craft and art items. There will likely be other promotions to raise funds, but just what those promotions will be has not yet been decided. So, we are off to a new academic year full of promise! —Joan Shireman
