Fabulous Fall Festival
Thanks to all who came out to support our annual Fall Heritage Festival on a glorious autumn day. The October 19 event featured 30 crafters, 64 quilts, and many car enthusiasts. Congrats to Becky Shemenski, Class of 1961, who won the quilt raffle. This annual tradition allows us to showcase our Brown County roots and supports our mission to serve first-generation students as they better their lives through education. Special thanks to the Ohio Arts Council and all the sponsors that made the day possible.
Scholar Spotlight – Brad King
A chance encounter with a link he came across in a Facebook group led Chatfield Scholar Brad King to reach his goal of getting his high school diploma. Today, with help from The Chatfield Edge, Brad is attending Miami University (Oxford) and pursuing his dream of becoming a therapist so he can help others.
Mentoring Matters!
Chatfield Edge mentor Amanda Widmeyer knows firsthand the struggles that some first-generation and non-traditional students and bow mentors can make a difference. She’s walked that path and is passionate about using her experience to benefit others. Learn more about her story and how you can use your life experience to support our scholars.
