Farmers’ Market Virtually a Success

The Masked Volunteer

We aren’t sure if they can sing, although on The Masked Singer, the tv competition show which inspired this contest, that’s also questionable at times! But we do know our masked volunteers are hard-working community members who give up their Saturday mornings to help make the Farmers’ Market pickup happen. We’re grateful for all of them and would be very appreciative for any future volunteers who join our crew.

To put it plainly, we’re having a contest. In short, the goal is to correctly guess the names of our masked volunteers. Every three correct guesses equals one entry into a drawing for a gift card. Throughout June on Facebook, we’ll add additional volunteers, and additional clues.

We thought we’d start simple with three faces (or, masked faces) many of you will know even though it might be some time since you’ve seen them (with that in mind, place a Farmers’ Market order just to go see them!). Again, more clues and more faces will be added to the mix soon on social media, but for now, we present our ‘opening round’ of competition:

Happy Guessing...

Foundation Scholarship Recipients

The 2020 recipients of Grove City Area Chamber Foundation scholarships have been notified and it’s time to recognize them! These high school students represent South-Western City School District high schools, in addition to a variety of academic and extra-curricular activities and interests.

“We continue to have a high number of nursing, business, and engineering fields of study,” Greg Dawkins, Foundation President, reported.

Greg also explained the application process and noted that students’ personal information is redacted and applications are identified by a number. This allows the selection committee to focus on need and merit presented in a particular application and can vote based on those criteria.

More than $10,000 was awarded to high school and affiliate recipients, and over $11,000 has been awarded by the Foundation in 2020. This brings the current running total awarded since 2013 to $102,300. A huge thank you is extended to all who have supported the Foundation; the six-figure mark is a significant milestone.

We intend to keep growing the number of scholarship dollars awarded, but we’ll need your help. As noted before our annual Fundraiser Night has been pushed back to October 2, but that just gives us more time to stir up more excitement for an excellent night out, including that this year’s entertainment is Dan Swartout. Mark your calendars to join us Friday October 2 at the Aladdin Shrine Center. Click here for more information!
