The Schreiner University
Hill Country College Fund recently
kicked off its annual campaign to raise
need-based scholarship funds for
Schreiner students from Kerr, Gillespie,
Kendall, Bandera, Edwards, Kimble and
Real counties.
So far, $163,670 has been raised towards
this year’s goal of $550,000—37 percent
more than the same time last year.
Sixteen thousand dollars was donated to
the HCCF at the Sept. 23 kick-off
luncheon event.
“The campaign is off to a great start
with a lot of work still to be done,”
said Lucy Gould, associate director of
development for annual giving at
Schreiner University. “Many thanks go
out to everyone who has contributed to
this year’s campaign.”
This year’s campaign chairman is Linda
Somerville, vice president of Security
State Bank & Trust and co-chair is Beth
Johnson, owner of Special Events
Coordinator.
Other volunteers working on the campaign
are: Sue Steele, public relations
officer Bank Of The Hills; Sue Tiemann,
broker/president of Commercial Realty
Services; Debbie Barron, general manager
Adco Advertising; Dolores Vinas,
president of the Kerr County Women’s
Chamber; Wes Dorman, vice president of
wealth management at Broadway Bank; Mike
Graxiola, editor and publisher of the
Kerrville Daily Times; Chelsea Lane
Barrington, administrative assistant at
Schreiner University and Dr. William
Woods, dean of the school of liberal
arts at Schreiner University.
Dr. Charlie McCormick, Schreiner’s vice
president for academic affairs and the
keynote speaker at the luncheon,
observed that communities with
universities have many more
quality-of-life advantages than those
without. He also said that colleges and
their communities sustained each other.
Guests also heard from Schreiner junior
LeeAnn Farish, a business education
major, about what it means to be an HCCF
recipient.
