Board members Diana Ducs and Ron Little of the Amy Ferguson Institute recently donated $10,000 to boost the June Lythgoe Scholarship Fund. The gift represents a portion of the proceeds from the Institute’s successful opera production KHAOS. The June Lythgoe Scholarship supports talented local musicians to continue their musical studies.
Thanks to all who submitted applications for community grants. The deadline for applications is now past. Our grant review process is underway and we will be able to inform all applicants in mid-late May as to whether or not they have received funding.
Dr. David Paetkau and the staff at Wildlife Genetics International made a generous $5000 donation to Osprey’s Community Fund.
