All,

A scholarship has now been officially set up in Alison’s name. Garth has given it his blessing. Below are details on how to contribute.

The Alison Varian Memorial Scholarship Fund
As many of us know, Alison loved learning and teaching others about boating, fishing and marine life.

In that spirit, the Alison Varian Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a graduating student who exhibits a love for learning and a passion for nature, the environment or marine conservation.

Contribute by Mail
Checks should be made to The Guilford Foundation. In the memo, write "Alison Varian Memorial Fund"

Mail to:
The Guilford Foundation
PO Box 35
Guilford, CT 06437

Contribute Online
For online donations, go to the website here: http://www.guilfordfoundation.org/giving/giving-overview/

After you identify the amount you’d like to donate, you will be prompted for a "message." In the message, indicate that the gift should go to the Alison Varian Memorial Scholarship Fund.

It looks to fall under "legacy funds":

I hope they quickly add the Alison Varian Memorial Scholarship Fund to the listing.

I am issuing an official CTF challenge. Anyone who worked harder, did more volunteering, or had a bigger impact on people than Riptide did as a true role model are exempt... wink2

I joined the Guilford Shellfish Commission shortly after Alison died- she is sorely missed by her friends there. we have put a lot of thought and effort into establishing this scholarship, and have gotten a fair start on getting the fund started.... we are considering fund raising events in the future and will keep all of you posted on what comes up.

please take a minute and make a contribution- we are hoping to give some financial aid to students starting the Sound School to study aquaculture. it is a cause that Alison would surely approve of smile1


thanks for your consideration

what da' fish?!?

Thank you and congratulations to CTF. $1358 of this is the money we raised through Alipalooza! I added the rest personally to make it a nice even number!

Awesome Jay, I missed it and needed to do something. This is such a great way to honor Alison, the fund needs to be grown to a self-sustaining size!
