<strong>Albemarle</strong> Plantation Woman’s Club Generously<br />

Invests in Local Students<br />

While graduation can be a frenzied time, there was<br />

a different atmosphere among the (mostly) high<br />

school students and their mothers gathered inside<br />

<strong>Albemarle</strong> Plantation’s waterfront clubhouse for an<br />

elegant luncheon on June 14th.<br />

Energy and anticipation ran high as young ladies<br />

prepared to share their ambitions and gratitude with<br />

more than 40 supportive women. It brought me back<br />

personally to my high school graduation- when as<br />

the recipient of a public affairs award from a local<br />

women’s business group- I too experienced encouragement<br />

as multiple generations of women gathered<br />

in a spirit of harmony and cooperation.<br />

High school seniors Shykeisha Kee, Toni Woodward,<br />

Christin Castro, Taylor Green, Amanda Pulley, and<br />

Winter Money were awarded scholarships to further<br />

their collegiate education. Each young woman was<br />

selected on the merits of her academic aptitude,<br />

leadership abilities, and character strength.<br />

What surprised me about students’ non-corroborated<br />

remarks was their overlapping theme of giving back<br />

to the community and a their willingness to continue<br />

volunteering despite demanding career choices and<br />

clearly packed schedules. Shykeisha Kee and Winter<br />

Money both conveyed they would like to establish<br />

a scholarship fund of their own one day.<br />

Create Summer Memories with Waterfront Dining at<br />

The 51 House<br />

by Laura Bush Jenkins<br />

Since 2005, <strong>Albemarle</strong> Plantation Woman’s Club<br />

has sponsored a Woman in Transition award for a<br />

woman over age 18 demonstrating a concise plan to<br />

open a business, enter a new career field, or pursue<br />

higher education. This year’s award winner is Sarah<br />

Brown. Brown- a single mother of four children ages<br />

4-16- works two jobs and takes classes in hotel<br />

and restaurant management. Her goal is to open a<br />

restaurant in Hertford while involving her family.<br />

Perhaps you or someone you know would like to be<br />

part of the opportunity to contribute over $6,250 in<br />

scholarships to local students like Sarah. You can<br />

speak with a club member as the group gets back in<br />

session this fall. Or, you can make a tax-deductible<br />

contribution to <strong>Albemarle</strong> Plantation Women’s Club,<br />
