To the editor: It’s not too late! There’s still time to apply! The Women’s College Scholarship Club is giving four Continuing Education Scholarships of $1,000 each to students wishing to change or enhance their careers. Applicants must be from Franklin or Essex County and returning to school after a break of at least one year. The deadline is Friday, May 14. Applicants must have a high school diploma or GED. Part-time students may apply. You can receive an application by emailing Continuing Education Committee Chair Ginny Bartlett at ginnybillbart@netscape.net. Applications are also available at the Financial Aid Office at North Country Community College, the Financial Aid Office at Paul Smith’s College and the Saranac Lake Free Library.
To the editor: The Women’s College Scholarship Club is always appreciative of the support we get from our local businesses. We recently had an event called “Heartfelt Hunt.” Eleven businesses agreed to display big pink hearts, each with a letter on it, in their windows. We asked the community to “hunt” for these letters, to discover a word important to our club, and enter that word into a entry box at the Village Mercantile. There were five winners of local gift certificates. During this time of COVID restrictions, raising community awareness of our purpose, awarding scholarships to graduating high school students and students continuing their education later in life, is difficult.

Each week she will offer customers a package of six freshly prepared apple cider crullers paired with a 10-ounce bag of Tug Hill Artisan Roasters Coffee for $25. These items can be pre-ordered and picked up at the Saranac Lake Farmer’s “Park-It” each Saturday. Delivery is also available for an additional $5. In addition to proceeds of the sale being donated to WCSC, 5% of each bag of coffee purchased will also support the Loon Center in Saranac Lake.

The Heartfelt Hunt is a search for bright pink hearts displayed in windows of businesses in Saranac Lake. The hearts will be visible from the outside of the businesses. To participate in the Heartfelt Hunt, you will need to walk or drive around town looking for the big pink hearts. Each heart will have one letter on it. When you find all 11 letters, try to arrange them into a word that means something close to the heart of Women’s College Scholarship Club. Once you have discovered the word, go to the Saranac Lake Neighbor Helping Neighbor Facebook page or the Village Mercantile to fill out an entry form and put it in the heart-covered box at the Mercanti
