Scholarship Program Update

bonnie-hyraThe Scholarship Committee is excited to announce that TWOQC received 14 applications for review from Sahuarita and Walden Grove High Schools. The review committee is composed of Scholarship Committee members and interested volunteers from our general membership. Bonnie Hyra will be leading the group through the process of selecting specific applications to be sent forward for formal interviews. These will be held at each high school on March 6. Stay tuned as we near the date for the special announcement of the awardees.

Piggy bank money_clipartOur hungry piggies will be roaming on a back table on February 27. Please stop by for a visit with extra change or check and to learn more about our latest forthcoming project – a scholarship for a woman in transition.

The Scholarship Committee thanks you for your ongoing support of young women seeking to meet their goals and making a difference in the lives of others.


Member Spotlight: RENA CRAINE

rena-craineRena went to Anchorage, Alaska in 1970 after finishing college and teaching 2 years in Indiana. She planned to stay for 1 year, and 35 years later (2005) left Alaska to travel in a motor home for 1 year while their home was being built here in Quail Creek. She came to Quail Creek for a “Play and Stay” and ended up buying a home because all the folks were so friendly.

Since 2009, Rena has traveled in an RV and volunteered at different government agencies, primarily National Wildlife Refuges and once for a National Park. In fact she will be volunteering again this summer as a wildlife interpreter at a scenic overlook on the coast of oregon. Rena has 1 son who lives in Brooklyn with his family. Her activities in Quail Creek include golfing, hiking, and walking the loop. She is also a member of the Art Glass Club and serves on the Scholarship committee for TWOQC.
