Katie Leao, WNC director of development, will introduce the scholarship recipients and acknowledge the WNC Foundation’s appreciation to the club for their commitment to supporting graduates of Carson and Dayton High Schools in their pursuit of higher education.
The 2014 Leisure Hour Club Scholarship recipients are: Tiffany Day – Carson High School, Jared Akers – Carson High School, Alexandra Dodge – Carson High School, Melissa Kulla – Carson High School, and Gerhig Tucker – Carson High School.
