Stinson House Lunch and Tour
Georgia McLain and Yolie Robledo hosted the group at the Stinson House on June 4th. The lunch was delicious and the tour very informative about the Stinson and Hogg families.
Scholarship Reception
The 2015 Alba-Golden, Rains, and Yantis ISD scholarship recipients and their parents were treated to a reception at the Emory Baptist Church. A light meal was served. This year, we increased the dollar amount of each scholarship to $1500 minimum which reduced the number of recipients, but increased the value of the scholarships for the recipients.
