CCEA Scholarships AwardedMembers’ Generosity Provides College Opportunities
for Twenty-Two Outstanding Clark County Seniors

The CCEA Scholarship Committee—comprised of Chairperson Theo Small, Vice Chair Ruby Caliendo, and members Mary Clair, Lori Coleman, Shelly Holt, Doug Jydstrup, Stan Lasker, Ivy Rasmussen, Jack Smith and Kristi Ziegler—was charged with the difficult task of selecting this year’s scholarship recipients.

The scholarships are possible, thanks to the ongoing contributions of more than 1,000 CCEA members and educators who help make college education a reality for deserving Clark County seniors who are related to a CCEA member.  We extend a special thanks to Beverly Parhamovich’s family who continue their commitment to award a scholarship in her memory.

A reception was held in mid-May to honor the twenty-two outstanding seniors who were awarded $1,800 scholarships.  The deserving recipients of the 2009-2010 CCEA Scholarships are:
