scholarship" which did not come to fruition.

decided to terminate the effort. In his report, Dreher recommended to
the membership all donation be return to the members and the "Justin
Sivley Scholarship Fund," be renamed the "Junior Member
Education Fund," proceedes to be used to fund all junior member
education and field trips.
