McHenry Business & Professional Women aid students The scholarship committee hosted the June meeting of the McHenry Business and Professional Women and a highlight of the evening was the appearance of the group's scholarship winners for this year. Kelly Hart, a graduate of Johnsburg High School, was unable to attend and Kathleen Moehling, chairman of the committee, read a letter ex­ pressing her regrets. Paula Hiller, a McHenry East Campus High School graduate, was in attendance with her mother, and she gave a very interesting talk. Jodi Beutel, a junior education major at Northern Illinois University, told everyone she was grateful for being chosen to • receive the Maurie Taylor Memorial scholarship and her personal association with Miss Taylor made the award even more special. Cathy O'Leary, chairman of the foundation committee, in­ troduced Debra Gust, recipient of the ongoing education scholarship for women. Debra is a self-employed artist who will be working to complete her bachelor's degree at McHenry County College. A graduate of Marian Central Catholic High School, she has attended Nor­ thern Illinois University and McHenry County College. Jt was very enjoyable and rewarding for the BPW mem­ bers to see and hear those who are benefiting from the efforts put for by the group during the past year. A discussion about McHenry's Fiesta Days resulted in the decision to sponsor a booth serving finger-food style desserts on the nights of July 23 and 26. All members are requested to drop off their baked goods or monetary donation, as soon as convenient, to Barbara Gerasch, G. G. Havens or Mrs. Gerald (Janice) Wegener. Those who have any questions, or wish to volunteer their ser­ vices to man the booth are urged to call Gloria Mack, chairman of the project, at 653-3711. It is hoped that everyone will support this endeavor to raise funds for the McHenry Business and Professional Women to continue their good work in the community. President Havens reminded everyone that the yearly dues in the amount of $23 are to be turned in by Aug. 1 or there will be a late penalty of $1.25 added. Checks are to be mailed to Karen Putnam, in care of McHenry State Bank.
