Message from the President:

Dear Family & Friends:

In April, we were glad to once again host The Bailey Scholars Reception honoring the new 2019 High School Scholarship winners. We enjoy the tradition of meeting our new recipients. Please see some of the photos to the right.

We’ve already started prepping for the 2020 Scholarship Program that starts January 1st. If you know someone that

would make an excellent candidate, please spread the word – deadline is February 28th.

We hope you enjoy this edition of the Newsletter. I’d like to thank everyone who contributed. We truly enjoy hearing about what you’ve been up to.

Good luck to everyone who headed back to class this Fall and let me be the first to wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season.

Warm Regards,

Kyle Bailey

President
