Author: Communications Committee/Wednesday, July 10, 2013/Categories: General

The Falls Region Chapter of New York State Women, Inc. held its annual scholarship dinner on June 19.  This year the chapter awarded two high school scholarships to two Judson Falls High School seniors.  One of the scholarships was in memory of Kathleen Butterfield, who was a former president of the local chapter.

The first scholarship winner was Caitlin Wickes.  Caitlin was accepted to the University of Vermont and will major in electrical engineering.  Caitlin became interested in electrical engineering when she operated the soundboard for the Drama Club.

The next scholarship winner was Emma Rozell.  Emma was accepted to Ithaca College and SUNY Oswego and planned to major in physical therapy.  Emma wanted people to have the best health possible.

Falls Region also honored their SUNY Adirondack scholarship winner, Anna Wernau.  Anna is currently enrolled in the nursing program at SUNY Adirondack and is studying to become a registered nurse.
