Friday, March 1, 2024
Good afternoon. In the newsletter today: College-bound high school graduates from Philomath, Alsea, Eddyville and Crane will no longer be able to apply for Clemens Foundation scholarships following the 2024-25 academic year with awards to be limited to students planning to attend a trade school or community college. Also, we have an obituary for longtime Philomath-area resident Norm Glass.
Thanks for reading!
