CLC Successful Scholarship Fund Drive

The Central Lakes College Foundation closed out its 2009 fiscal year with more than $300,000 in donations to new and existing scholarship funds.

Diane Scearcy, executive director, said the Foundation processed nearly 500 student applications for scholarships last year. The Bremer Foundation contributed $10 thousand and the Brainerd Lakes Area Community Foundation $5 thousand.

The Foundation is pairing with the Chanhassen Dinner Theaters to bring the "Married Alive!" musical comedy to the area Sept. 11 and 12 as a dinner show. This event, which includes a silent auction of Jon Hassler prints and two of Rose Edin's latest works, is a major fund-raiser.

The event will be held in the new Gull Lake Center at Grand View Lodge, Nisswa.
