We had another great holiday social. The highlight of the even was the presentation of the scholarship awards to App State and UNC-Charlotte. Due to the generosity and support of our sponsors, the Carolinas RIMS chapter presented checks for $15,000 to each university.
In addition to the checks presented to the universities, we also awarded the Dick Oelhafen scholarship in the amount of $1,500. This scholarship is awarded to an exemplary student with an interest in claims. This year’s scholarship was awarded to McKenna Cunningham a student at UNC-Charlotte. Congratulations McKenna!
A big thank you to everyone who donated coats for our coat drive! The local charity that we donated the coats to was Least of These Carolinas. We received the following thank you note from Least of These Carolinas. “Thank you so much for donating all of the wonderful coats to us. We are very excited to be able to provide them to children and teens in foster care in our local area. We appreciate you thinking of our organization during this giving season. We hope that you will think of us again because we would not be able to do so much and serve so many children without support from people like you! Thank you again.”
Thanks to everyone who attended this year’s holiday social.
