The responsibility of making award recommendations is the role of the Advisory Board.  Current Advisory Board members are Melissa Chareti, John Huscroft, Patricia Huscroft, Dot Rathgeber, and Dawn Sommerfeld. If you have any questions, please contact one of the Advisory Board members.  Over the coming months I will look forward to receiving applications for Spring 2005 awards.

 

In order to provide more timely communication and eliminate the cost of postage, we wish to move towards email distribution or internet posting of all letters from the Huscroft Educational Trust.  From now on all Family Update Letters will be posted on the internet at www.huscroft.ca.  If you wish to receive an email copy of these letters, please email me with your contact information.  Also please remember to inform us about changes of address or new additions to the family so that we can keep our records of the Huscroft Beneficiary Group current. Thank you for your assistance.

 

Sincerely,
