Community service scholarships announced
The Mountain Laurel Chamber of Commerce has announced that the 2010 Eleanor G. Morris Community Service Scholarships have been awarded in the amount of $1,000 each to three local students. For the fourth year, the program seeks out students who live in Cook, Donegal, Saltlick and Springfield townships and who have outstanding records of community service.
Jacob Hauger of Donegal Township is a graduate of Mount Pleasant Area High School. Hauger has offered his music skills to benefit events to raise funds for worthwhile causes. Hauger will attend the two-year mining technology program at Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus.
Jerry Cramer Jr. of Saltlick Township is a graduate of Connellsville Area High School. He has been active with helping in the community and has offered a variety of services to elderly residents. Cramer will study elementary education at Thiel University in the fall.
Emily Pompelia of Cook Township is a graduate of Ligonier Valley High School. Pompelia has provided service in school, church and community. She has also helped through the school’s mentoring program. She will attend Syracuse University this fall where she will study journalism.
The scholarship program is made possible through contributions from community residents, from special friends of the late Dr. Morris, and from local business members of the MLCC.
