The 2011 scholarship process is gaining momentum!

The 2011 scholarship process is gaining momentum!

In keeping with our desire to support the scholastic endeavors of young people, especially students who are vertically endowed, Portland Skyliners will award one scholarship in the amount of $500 to a student pursuing a college or university education. In addition, the scholarship recipient’s application will be forwarded to Tall Clubs International to compete for several $1000 scholarships.

If you know any high school seniors or graduates under age 21 attending their first year at a 2 or 4 year institution of higher learning, and they meet the minimum height requirements of 5'10" for women and 6'2" for men, direct them to the website http://www.tall.org/clubs/or/portland for information and forms. The application deadline is March 15.

Scholarship Committee:

Email inquires or questions to PortlandSkyliners@yahoo.com. If you would like to join the committee and participate in the selection process, please contact Michelle Scasny.


February Short Note from the President

Hello Members,

I am encouraging you all to register for Pre-Convention to be held in Leavenworth, Washington June 25 and 26.
Kate Weigant has done a wonderful job planning and recruiting for this event.

If you have not done so already, PLEASE, Please register for Convention that will be taking place June 27 through July 3, 2011. I understand there are 60
people signed up so far. I am in hopes that this could be one of the largest Conventions that we had in a while.

We are still trying to nail down some information for a Post-Convention. Hang out in the Northwest July 3 through 6. We may be going over to Victoria, B.C., as a large group or doing different small day trips around the Seattle area. If you are interested or if you have some great ideas of places or things we can do, please contact me. I would love to hear them and see if we can work something out.

I am looking forward to seeing you at an event soon.

Teresa
