The Board of Trustees of the West Hempstead Community Scholarship Fund is pleased to announce that the fund’s annual dinner will be held on May 23 at 6 p.m. at Pompeii Restaurant in West Hempstead.
The scholarship recipients for 2013 will receive their awards at the dinner, which is not only a tribute to the students and their families, but also the Fund’s major fundraising event. It is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our students in West Hempstead and Island Park, and a chance to support the worthwhile efforts of this community group.
The West Hempstead Community Scholarship Fund, Inc. was established in the 1969-70 school year to coordinate and standardize many scholarship efforts in West Hempstead.
Since its inception, the fund has distributed $345,000 to 256 students. WHCSF is a non-profit organization, chartered by the State of New York and administered by a board of trustees, who are elected by participating members. The fund hosts several fundraising events each year.
This year’s dinner will feature a raffle drawing for several exciting prizes. Raffle tickets are currently being sold throughout the community by members of the board of trustees. Any inquiries should be directed to whcsf@aol.com. All proceeds support the work of the fund and its scholarships.
Tickets for the WHSCF dinner are $45 per person (students 18 and under are $35) and are available to the community. For tickets and information, contact Ticket Chair Eileen Fennell  516-483-7627.
