Dear Ripley Bee and News Democrat Readers,

There is no way I can say “thank you” except from the bottom of my heart! The Pam Crawford Memorial Scholarship Fundraiser that took place at the Community Lanes on Sunday February 15 was a huge success. We raised over $4,000.00 which will provide scholarship opportunities for students in the Ripley Union Lewis Huntington School District.

The entire event could not have taken place without the help of Joanne, Don, Lori and Buck Maloney. These people worked tirelessly picking up donations, keeping track of donations and putting on the event. They are true angels.

There are many more angels that helped make this event successful. I am so afraid I will miss someone and if I do, please call me and I will make sure you are properly thanked. 392-4224

First of all, thanks to the Learn and Serve America students that showed up from the RULH School District. They led the event on the student side.
