Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund
SSSF Celebrates its Fifth Anniversary

Directors of the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund recently celebrated the organization’s fifth anniversary and the contributions of its founding directors.

The Article of Association for the not-for-profit group was adopted and approved on February 26, 2008.  The mission of the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund is to provide scholarships to college students.

With the diligent efforts of its five directors who have held positions since the organization’s inception, SSSF had awarded $14,000 to students based on their demonstrated interest and accomplishment in the elements of journalism and related fields of public communications.

In addition to funds raised through the direct efforts of the SSSF, nearly $10,000 has been awarded through the contributions of Darrell and Debbie Biddlestone in honor of Biddlestone’s mentor, the late Ralph “Fred” Wright, who passed away in August 2006; Al and Barbara Greiner; the Lloyd/Marie Blickenstaff and Melvin/Hannah Rust Memorial Scholarship established by Delbert and Louis Blickenstaff in April 2012; The Bistro Off Broadway Scholarship, Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln Scholarship, and the Greenville Eagles #2177 Scholarships, which were all awarded in April 2012.

The five founding directors of the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund: Delbert Blickenstaff, Al Bliss, Lynn Bliss, Al Greiner, and Bob Robinson were recognized for their vision in furthering educational opportunities and dedication in orchestrating a means of raising funds for the yearly increase of qualified applicants.

The primary source of revenue for the 501 (c) (3) organization comes from sponsors of County News Online, a free online news service that provides news coverage, community news, sports, county commissioner meeting minutes, and commentary.  CNO was launched in January 15, 2011 and has grown to 30-35 thousand unique readers a month and celebrated two million pages views before its second anniversary under the devoted direction of Bob Robinson.  

Other individuals who have served on the SSSF board of directors include: the late Sally Amspaugh, Kathy Magoto, Phyllis Mong, and Edna Rhodehamel,     

The 2013-2014 directors include:  Elaine Bailey, chair; Al Bliss, vice-chair; Jan Boyer, recording secretary; Al Greiner, treasurer; Delbert Blickenstaff, Lyn Bliss, Marianne Clark, and Bob Robinson.
