Suggestions sought for student project

Three juniors at Albany High School are looking for ideas for an award worthy community service project and the funding needed to complete the task.

Taylor Scott, Tyler Beard, and Brayden Sullivan, along with mentor Chris Beard, each need to raise $150 to participate in the Texas Midwest Community Network (TMCN) training sessions and scholarship competition.

The TMCN scholarship contest has been held for several years, but this is the first time that Albany students have participated.

“We are looking for a project that will benefit the community,” said Chamber manager Mary Beth Jones, who is helping to get the program underway. “The project must be completed and the students must give a presentation about it to a panel of judges on Sept. 18.” 

First, second, and third place winners qualify for scholarship money.

Those with ideas for a short-term community project or who might donate toward registration fees and materials to complete a project are asked to contact Jones at the Chamber office, 325-762-2525.
