As a tribute to Elaine, who passed away November 1, 2008 from
complications caused by Multiple Sclerosis. There has been a
scholarship fund setup in her memory to benefit the child of a
parent or guardian who suffers from MS, or a student with MS.

Elaine was a wonderful person. The type of person that everyone
loved. She was always smiling and had an awesome attitude.

If you are interested in applying for this scholarship or would like
to make a donation to the scholarship fund, please let Joe know.
