Tuesday, April 28, 2009

REDDING - The UPEC Scholarship Committee will meet next week to review applications for the four available scholarship awards this year.  This will be the first year that UPEC has offered scholarships to members.  Scholarship Committee Chair Cinamon Pitts reported receiving applications from nine (9) different bargaining units from throughout the Local. The Executive Board funded the scholarship program this year to get the program started. “I think its important to give back to our member families particularly if we can give them a boost in their education”, said Business Manager Chris Darker. The scholarship committee is hosting the first UPEC Scholarship Golf Tournament at Gold Hills Golf Club on Friday, June 26th.
