Southeast Chapter confirms that, despite Covid-19, it will award 2021 scholarships

2/10/21 —ย The WAIโ€™s Southeast Chapter was unable to hold its annual golf tournament in 2020, but its board confirmed at a recent meeting that it will issue four scholarships this year, using saved funds.

โ€œAs we come out of an uncertain time in 2020, the Southeast Board of Directors is excited to announce that the scholarship program will continue in 2021,โ€ said Chapter President Chris McGill, Southwire. โ€œWe know there are deserving students in our community that could use the stability of this program to help them advance to the next level in their educational goals.โ€

The golf event, a key contributor to the chapterโ€™s college scholarship program, also reflects a team effort. The 2019 event, held at the Rock Barn Country Club in Conover, North Carolina, was declared one of the best ever. Board members served as emcees, placed 40 sponsorship signs, managed the putting contest, photographed the event and made sure that everyone was fed and happy.
