Chamber announces scholarship

The Lewis County Chamber of Commerce is accepting applications for the Judy Applegate Memorial/Lewis County Chamber of Commerce Scholarship.  The chamber will provide one $500 non-renewable scholarship to a member of the Lewis County High School Class of 2008.

In 2005, the scholarship was named in honor of the late Ms. Judy Applegate, a Vanceburg businesswoman.  Ms. Applegate was a Charter Member of the chamber and was a member of the chamber’s Board of Director s, serving as both Secretary and Treasurer.  Judy worked hard for the chamber organization and it is with great pleasure that the Board of Director s honors her memory with this scholarship fund.  This is the fifth year for offering this scholarship.
