Congratulations to the three children and grandchildren of our Phoenix, AZ, Perch Base members who each received scholarships during the February 8, 2023, Board of Directors meeting.
At the following general meeting on February 11, 2023, Howard Doyle's grandaughter Mia was present to receive her scholarship.
Mia is a senior in high school, a straight "A" student for the last 12½ years, co-captain of the swim team, participated in the state swim meets all 4 years, and set the school record in the backstroke this year. Mia accepted the scholarship award and thanked the Perch Base for the award. She plans to use the award toward her college tuition at the University of Hawaii at Hilo where she will be majoring in biology with plans to go on to medical school to become a doctor.

Two other children and grandchildren of Perch Base members were also selected to receive scholarships, but could not be present at the meeting on February 11, 2023.
Chris Urness' son Kaden and George Woods' granddaughter Kara Woods also received scholarship awards. Kara is in her second year at the State University of Binghamton (New York) and then plans to go to the University of Syracuse to also pursue a medical degree. They will receive their awards at a later date.

Subsequently, we received a Thank You note from Kaden Urness.
