Since its beginning 17 years ago, the Moses Lake Alumni Association has been offering graduating seniors a $1,000 scholarship, totaling $500,000 to date. This year's deadline to submit applications is Feb. 28. We understand that up to 15 scholarships of $1,000 can be awarded this year.

We are writing because this invaluable program is in jeopardy. Volunteers are needed to administer this program to keep it alive and well. Sickness, aging and death all naturally take their toll, and fresh, younger blood is needed to replenish the heroic and selfless efforts of those who have served and are serving so well for so long.

We hope anyone reading this understands how valuable is the time spent volunteering to help in this scholarship program for Moses Lake School District's college-bound youth. MLAA needs your help.

Please contact one of the following members if you can be of service.
