Women’s Club to offer<br />
scholarships<br />
WILBRAHAM - The <strong>Wilbraham</strong> Women’s Club is<br />
offering at least two $1,000 scholarships and one $500<br />
music scholarship to students who will pursue a degree<br />
at a four-year college or university, and a $500 award to a<br />
student who will attend a two year institution or a technical/vocational<br />
program.<br />
The applicants must be <strong>Wilbraham</strong> residents and<br />
graduating seniors. The selection factors include: academic<br />
achievement, character, and leadership. The music<br />
scholarship requires that the applicant either pursue<br />
a music major in college or have been active in music<br />
curriculum in high school. The scholarships and award<br />

your stick and get it working again.<br />
What better way to do this than in a<br />
preseason clinic.<br />
This year we will be hosting our<br />
first annual Spring Lacrosse Clinic.<br />
I, along with Western New England<br />
University Men’s Lacrosse Coach,<br />
John Klepacki and some<br />
of his Golden Bears, and<br />
others will be conducting<br />
a preseason clinic for<br />
boys grade K-8. Here the<br />
players will be taught the<br />
proper fundamentals of<br />
how to play the game.<br />
All proceeds are to go<br />
back into the fields and<br />

students who want to get into a coaching<br />
career. We’ll have info on the levels of<br />
coaching: high school, college, youth.”<br />

“This is a pilot program Deb and I<br />
were asked to put together and it got very<br />
good reviews so we brought it back this<br />
year,” said coach Cook, who completed<br />
his 31st season with WMA in the fall.<br />
“The coaches will be meeting with us in<br />
a seminar style. They’ll get information<br />
about resume writing, connections, networking,<br />
and then they’ll see some of the<br />
convention clinics that are going on that<br />
day. There will be a panel discussion with<br />
people in the field. It’s pretty exciting.”<br />
