Open Letter from the Trustee
We enter the third year of operations of the Carolyn Kelly Memorial Scholarship Fund. It has been four years since we lost Carolyn. If she were still with us, I believe she would be ecstatic. Unfolding before us are the very things she wanted her legacy to provide: hope for humanity’s brighter future. We see it every day, lodged in the hearts, souls and ambitions of those that strive to better themselves and their community through education. There are so many worthy candidates, and even amidst the frustration of not being able to give to everyone, we feel so fortunate to be providing the help that has so far made a difference in over 35 lives. …with many more to come.
I am humbled by the stories of perseverance and the overcoming of what appear to be insurmountable obstacles, and by the time and effort our candidates invest in their quest for an award. I am encouraged by the fact that a little help can mean a lot to so many. You were right, CK: ” Spend it on those who might light the way.”
We feel her compassionate touch in every minute we are spending on this project, and it is the force that drives us.
We miss you every day, sister, and hope we are doing you proud.
A happy and healthy New Year to all of you.
