P.E.O. Chapter BZ of Reedsport would like to take this opportunity to thank the communities of Winchester Bay, Reedsport and Gardiner for their continued support which provides scholarship opportunities to graduating senior girls and women pursuing college educations.
Through your generosity and purchase of carnations during our fall fundraiser and our annual Holiday Basket Raffle, Chapter BZ was able to award two local Memorial Scholarships this year of $1500 each. We are very pleased to congratulate Shania Enfield and Bethany Hedges and wish them success in their educational goals.
The Scholarship Committee of Oregon State Chapter P.E.O. has selected Miss Amanda Stubblefield of Reedsport as recipient of the Oregon Scholarship award in the amount of $1250 for continuing studies at Corban University during 2014-2015.
Through the years, the outpouring of support for local students to further their education has made our communities a special place to live. THANK YOU is such a small word but it is filled with appreciation.
Sincerely,
Scholarship Committee

There is a sacredness in tears....They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love. --Washington Irving
If you ever fall in love . . .
Fall in love with someone who wants to know your favorite color and just how you like your coffee. Fall in love with someone who loves the way your laugh and would do absolutely anything to hear it. Fall in love withe someone who puts their head on your chest just to hear your heart beat. Fall in love with someone who kisses you in public and is proud to show you off to anyone they know. Fall in love withe someone who makes you question why you were afraid to fall in love in the first place. Fall in love with someone who would never ever want to hurt you. Fall in love with someone who falls in love with your flaws and thinks you are perfect just the way you are. Fall in love with someone who thinks that you are the ONE they would love to wake up to each day.
