From Carolyn Seelig:
HAPPY NEW YEAR Ladies!
Here it is, January 2011, can you believe it?
As mentioned in the June 2010 issue of the TERLINGUA TRAILS, this is the reminder that a group of ladies have chosen to make individual contributions to the CASI National Scholarship Program in lieu of the traditional Texas Ladies State
An email notice has gone out to the ladies who initially expressed an interest several months ago in joining the group reminding them that they are responsible to send in their contributions to the CASI National Scholarship Program Administrator prior to a March 1, 2011 deadline. Remember, the amount of your contribution will remain anonymous, but we need to add your name to the group list. The list of names will be used for flyers which will be handed out at TLS and for signage which we hope to have ready to set up at the registration area. NOTE: The March 1st deadline is important and it is necessary so names can be verified, flyers can be printed, etc.
If you are interested or have questions, please contact one of the following:
