Applications available – Dec. 1, 2015
Application Deadline – March 15, 2016
Interviews – April 10, 2016

Chairman’s
Corner
First, I have some exciting news—our
22nd annual golf outing was the most
successful ever. A record 80 golfers
turned out for the event at the Highland
Park Country Club on June 27, netting
$31,000 for our scholarship program.
Thanks to the members of the Golf
Committee, and particularly to co-chairs
Bill Bridges, Jeff Doman, Joe Keitel, John
Powell, Bob Reece and Bart Rocca.
Next, I would like to thank Tiffany Chapman for her years of service as she leaves
the Cherry board. At the same time I want
to welcome two new members to the
board: Matthew Hunter and Jake Rohde.
As always, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone on our outstanding board, and to the ever-growing community of friends who support our efforts.
I invite you to join us for our next
Award Dinner on April 24, 2016. And
don’t forget the annual golf tournament
scheduled for June 25, 2016.
I should point out that even during
these challenging economic times, the
Cherry Scholarship Fund has found a way
to expand our outreach to part-time and
graduate students. We need your help so
we can continue our work of investing
in the education of our youth. I sincerely
hope you will consider making a contribution to the fund.
Finally, I think it’s important to note
that several Cherry Scholarship recipients are now teaching our future leaders.
Without that scholarship, their dream
might never have become a reality.Thank
you in advance for your kind support.

Chairman’s
Corner
First, I have some exciting news—our
22nd annual golf outing was the most
successful ever. A record 80 golfers
turned out for the event at the Highland
Park Country Club on June 27, netting
$31,000 for our scholarship program.
Thanks to the members of the Golf
Committee, and particularly to co-chairs
Bill Bridges, Jeff Doman, Joe Keitel, John
Powell, Bob Reece and Bart Rocca.
Next, I would like to thank Tiffany Chapman for her years of service as she leaves
the Cherry board. At the same time I want
to welcome two new members to the
board: Matthew Hunter and Jake Rohde.
As always, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone on our outstanding board, and to the ever-growing community of friends who support our efforts.
I invite you to join us for our next
Award Dinner on April 24, 2016. And
don’t forget the annual golf tournament
scheduled for June 25, 2016.
I should point out that even during
these challenging economic times, the
Cherry Scholarship Fund has found a way
to expand our outreach to part-time and
graduate students. We need your help so
we can continue our work of investing
in the education of our youth. I sincerely
hope you will consider making a contribution to the fund.
Finally, I think it’s important to note
that several Cherry Scholarship recipients are now teaching our future leaders.
Without that scholarship, their dream
might never have become a reality.Thank
you in advance for your kind support.

Chairman’s
Corner
First, I have some exciting news—our
22nd annual golf outing was the most
successful ever. A record 80 golfers
turned out for the event at the Highland
Park Country Club on June 27, netting
$31,000 for our scholarship program.
Thanks to the members of the Golf
Committee, and particularly to co-chairs
Bill Bridges, Jeff Doman, Joe Keitel, John
Powell, Bob Reece and Bart Rocca.
Next, I would like to thank Tiffany Chapman for her years of service as she leaves
the Cherry board. At the same time I want
to welcome two new members to the
board: Matthew Hunter and Jake Rohde.
As always, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone on our outstanding board, and to the ever-growing community of friends who support our efforts.
I invite you to join us for our next
Award Dinner on April 24, 2016. And
don’t forget the annual golf tournament
scheduled for June 25, 2016.
I should point out that even during
these challenging economic times, the
Cherry Scholarship Fund has found a way
to expand our outreach to part-time and
graduate students. We need your help so
we can continue our work of investing
in the education of our youth. I sincerely
hope you will consider making a contribution to the fund.
Finally, I think it’s important to note
that several Cherry Scholarship recipients are now teaching our future leaders.
Without that scholarship, their dream
might never have become a reality.Thank
you in advance for your kind support.
Patty Cherry Reece
