2008 CAC Scholarship awards
presented.
Three award recipients joined CAC's Scholarship Committee
Chairman Pete Alonzo at the AMI Avondale office in June to pick up
$1,000 checks for their college education. Nine scholarships were
awarded to high school students this year based on grades, community
service and an essay about mushroom farming. "Our goal is to give
deserving students a little support to continue their education,"
said Alonzo.
The Scholarship Committee has donated more than $340,000 for
educational projects. "We've been doing this for a lot of
years and are happy to fund education, training and outreach to the
community," said Alonzo. "Our guys are very generous, and we
all want to be good neighbors."
The 23rd Annual CAC - Mushroom Festival Golf Tournament will be
held on Tuesday, Sept. 2 at the Kennett Golf Club in Kennett Square, PA.
