CNO presents $3,500 check to SSSF

County News Online...

County News Online editor Bob Robinson presented a check for $3,500 to Al Greiner, Treasurer of the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund, at its recent banquet for this year’s scholarship recipients.

CNO was initiated as a fundraiser for the Scholarship Fund in December 2010. The news and information service went online on January 15, 2011 and a few months later presented a check for $1,500 to the fund. Robinson’s stated goal for CNO is to reach a $5,000 donation in 2013 while building a non-profit business that will provide scholarships into the foreseeable future.

“Community support has been fantastic,” Robinson said. “Not only do we continue to grow in readership (93,000 page views and 25,000 unique visitors in April), but sponsorship support has made the goal of this program a success.”

Business and individual support for the non-profit news and information service continues to grow along with readership.

“There are far too many for me to even think of naming them and possibly missing one,” Robinson said. “We have our display sponsors that you will find on our Home Page and many of our topics pages, but we also have annual sponsors who simply want to help us provide scholarships through this service.”

All sponsors can be seen on CNO’s Sponsors tab. Check them out and thank them for their support.

Staff support from Edison Community College has been instrumental in helping County News Online start building a business program, supplying several students from Edison’s Capstone project for Marketing Business and Sales majors. Instrumental in that process are Edison staff members Ruth Barney and Larry Dragosavac, with help from Brad Reed, Internet Technologies. We have a number of individuals from their programs, or who heard about us through the program, gearing up to help us grow in our service to the community.

“Two individuals have given me a ton of help,” Robinson added. “Al Bliss with his paginating and Kurt Fritsch, our webmaster. This wouldn’t be happening without their help, plus the support of the entire SSSF Committee.”

The scholarship committee awarded a total of $6,000 in scholarships to six student this year: Kent Holmes, Ball State University; Kent Hoying, Ball State University; Sam Armstrong, Cedarville University; Ashley Studebaker, Franklin Monroe High School; Jessica Transue, Greenville High School; and John Liette, Ansonia High School.
