03/24/2008: "Dollars For Scholars Board Plans For This Year"

The mission of Dollars For Scholars (DFS) San Juan is to encourage students to become active in community service and to pursue advanced training. They award scholarships based on community service. Students who receive the DFS San Juan Scholarships have completed a minimum of 80 hours of community service during their high school career.

DFS will start a new year with a new President, Jim Carroll, and several new Board members: John Bostrom, Tina & Tom Barnes, and Maude Cummings.

In the next month, DFS hopes to have a Dining For Scholar night, and to open up a Scholars Clothes Closet at Consignment Treasures on Roche Harbor Road, and are asking the community to help by supporting these activities.
