Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
The Cannon Enlisted Spouses’ Club and Cannon Officers’ Spouses’ Club recently honored 14 students in their pursuit of progress in education at the annual ESC/OSC Scholarship Awards Banquet.
Through various fundraisers including Kids’ Bingos, the Wild Wild West Night and the Thrift Shop, the ESC and OSC raised more than $13,000 in scholarship awards for 2007.
The ESC Scholarship Committee was led by Co-Chairs M.J. Anderson and Manuela Kenny. The OSC Scholarship Committee was led by Co-Chairs Angela Minear and Christine Caldwell.
Nearly three dozen applications were received for these awards. An independent judging panel consisting of five men and women, from the military and educational community scored applicants on academic achievements, community involvement, work ethic, a sample essay and a letter of recommendation.
