This year has certainly been different for everyone, but we have especially asked more from our students and staff than ever before during the pandemic. The students were asked to switch from serving or bussing in our restaurants, to adeptly sorting, packaging, labeling, and delivering to apartments among various tasks. They have answered our needs and have served us well, all with a smile, and all the while waiting to hear what the future will bring for them with the uncertainties of colleges deliberating their openings in the fall.
This month we will be saying goodbye to some of our Class of 2020 Scholars as they venture off to their respective colleges. In some cases, not only are they leaving Charlestown, but some will be moving away from home as well.
We once again thank each of our residents who make donations to our Scholar Fund. This program is only as successful as the residents that fund it, and we have been so fortunate to have your consistent support. These scholarships help to alleviate some financial burdens that our student employees experience in the pursuit of their education, and can sometimes make the difference in them being able to earn their degree.
Any Scholar Fund questions may be directed to our Scholar Committee members: Norma Snow-Goldberg, Roland Gray, Mel Milio, Marie Skane, Ed Delong, Jackie Graham, Eugenia High, Mimi O’Donnell or me, or contact Lisa Zehring in the Philanthropy Office at 410-737-8892 x8397.
Thank you for supporting our Charlestown Scholars!

Scholar Committee Chair
