The project is broader
than it appears at first sight. A scholar being defined as, “one
who studies under a teacher”, we will work with youth groups of
different ages, backgrounds, and mental and physical abilities.
Scholarship will be a major emphasis. We want to vigorously
promote State, Deep South, and National Life Memberships. Artist
Carol Keefe, has a “Scholarship Jug” for each of the State Presidents.
Use it to collect monies at your meetings for scholarship. There are
some fun ways to get members to contribute to the “Jug”. For example: a
penny for each year of your age. A lot of people will put in a
dollar so that someone standing nearby can’t find out their age by
counting as each penny drops. There
will be competition among our six states for the greatest percentage
increase in State, Deep South, and National Life Memberships.
Fund-raising will be of great importance; and, we hope you’ll give us
some new and innovative ideas. At the end of the project, the
ideas will be collected into a brochure, for sale at a nominal price,
which will further enrich the Deep South Scholarship Fund.
You can use funds
collected from the DOLLAR$ FOR
$CHOLAR$ JUG to fund your states LM/Patrons -
It is not expected that
all your monies go toward Life Memberships.
When you review the suggested programs and activities and scale of
points, you’ll note that how the money is used is important; and,
probably as interesting, if maybe not more so, than the fund-raising.
There is also a new way to help fund scholarships by becoming a Scholarship Patron - Just donate
$100 or more to the Deep South Region. Send your check marked for
Patron of Scholarships to DS Life Membership Chairman, Peggy White, 7
Woodland Drive, Cartersville, GA. 30120-3714 and join the ranks of
other generous supporters.
This is such an important and worthwhile project, we all wish for its
success. I have to tell you though, the elevator to success is out of
order, so we have to take the stairs one step at a time. But remember,
if you take a step and you need help, Carol and I will be there for you.
Thank you.
Mary
