LHAND Executive Director, Charles Gaeta and LHAND staff hosted its 21st Annual Scholarship Awards Dinner in the Church Street community room last month. This year LHAND awarded more than 30 scholarships to local high school graduates continuing on to college. Also in attendance were state Rep. Dan Cahill, state Rep. Pete Capano, state Sen. Brendan Crighton and the LHAND Board of Commissioners. Over the past 20 years LHAND has given more than $350,000 in scholarships to students continuing their education. The scholarship funds are raised throughout the year by fundraising events such as the Annual LHAND Golf Tournament, which will be held Sept. 6 at Gannon Golf Course. LHAND also announced that in addition to issuing scholarships and awards to students continuing on to college, this program will also include awards to students joining the military and students pursuing a vocational trade.
