The Uglys of Haines thanks everyone who participated in our Community Cancer Connection, especially The American Legion for the use of their facility and everyone who donated a dessert for auction. In the last year we have averaged one grant of $1,000 per month given to the residents of the Chilkat Valley. Unfortunately there is a continued need for this program. Any questions or donations can be sent to The Uglys PO Box 698 Haines, AK 99827. We are considering making some changes to the next fundraiser like doing it in the fall when there is less competition for open dates and maybe a menu change. We will keep you informed.
On a lighter note we would like to congratulate this year’s scholarship winners. With only 11 kids in the graduating class we were able to help out with some continuing education to some alumni. We had two fine recipients of our Vocational Arts Scholarships to Corbin Holm and Tailer Olsson of $2,000 each. Skyler Smith, Mori Hays, Seth Waldo and Tiffany DeWitt each got one of our $1,000 Leg Up Scholarships. We would also like to thank the Fogcutter Bar, whose sale of pulltabs funds our scholarship efforts. (You might keep that in mind when the next alcohol tax comes up.)
Thanks for helping us help Haines,
Gary Jacobson
