To the editor:

The Women’s College Scholarship Club is always appreciative of the support we get from our local businesses.

We recently had an event called “Heartfelt Hunt.” Eleven businesses agreed to display big pink hearts, each with a letter on it, in their windows. We asked the community to “hunt” for these letters, to discover a word important to our club, and enter that word into a entry box at the Village Mercantile. There were five winners of local gift certificates.

During this time of COVID restrictions, raising community awareness of our purpose, awarding scholarships to graduating high school students and students continuing their education later in life, is difficult.

We would like to thank Nori’s Village Market, Origin Coffee, Goody Goody’s, Hex & Hop, Adirondack Bank, Coakley Home and Hardware, the Belvedere, Downhill Grill, Wilkins Insurance Agency, Brandon Campbell of Ameriprise Financial, and Eco Living for displaying letters, and the Village Mercantile for being the depository for entries.

What a great community we live in!
