Maryann Wegener Memorial 4-H Scholarship, DUE April 14th, 2008. In 2001, members of the 4-H community, family, and friends contributed money towards a 4-H scholarship program in memory of my wife MaryAnn. MaryAnn was very active as an adult volunteer in 4-H in roles ranging from Club to County All Star Advisor. She loved watching 4-H members grow and mature, and would have appreciated this scholarship program to assist 4-H'ers pursue their life dreams. I am sending letters directly to the graduating seniors, but this notice is a reminder about the program. The applications will be due in April. I have been doing one new scholarship each year, which can be renewed if normal progress is being made towards graduation, and funds are available. It is our intent to give priority to those 4-H'ers that need financial assistance in order to meet their vocational, two or four year college goals. Any assistance you can provide in encouraging the graduating seniors to apply would be appreciated. Thank you Gary Wegener Maryann Wegener Memorial Scholarship Application
