The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation is pleased to announce that it is taking scholarship applications for the Terence J. Centner Agricultural and Environmental 4-H Scholarship. Terence (Terry) J. Centner established this fund to honor his parents Harry E. and Mary Ellen Centner, in honor of their dedication to the Chautauqua County 4-H program.
