Rod and Barb Carpenter are at it again! They are looking ahead to what is next for the Tri Star Eternal Scholarship. This is an excerpt of their letter that can be found on the Tri Star Eternal Scholarhip Facebook page.
Hi All,
I hope you read completely through and I will try to keep as short as possible. As you know, through your generosity we were able to award 6 $1000 scholarships and raise over $144,000. However, as we looked through the applications, it was apparent in many cases $1000 was a drop in the bucket compared to their expense. If left alone, over time the dollar amount will grow as the fund grows. But, we believe if you all were asked, like us, you would like to see it grow a lot sooner than later. Expenses for the 6 recipients amounted to anywhere from $9000 to $35,000 per year. So, Barb and I are asking if you would be willing to be a partner once again by contributing the same amount or more as you did last year. Barb & I will join you as we always do as we won’t ask unless we also contribute. You can join us 3 ways 1) by making your checks out to Mercer County Civic Foundation and put "Tri Star Eternal" on memo line then send to Rod or Barb Carpenter at 2315 Eaglebrooke Circle, Celina, OH 45822. 2) You may PayPal direct to us at paypal.me/boston2639. 3) You may Venmo to me at www.venmo.com/Rod-Carpenter-4
