A message from our Board of Directors...
The mission of the SCBA is to create business opportunities, referrals and partnerships for its members and to support community outreach activities through education and involvement. And through our mission and our efforts, we strive to improve the lives of local students and of the community at large.
With that in mind, we are happy to announce that the 2020 SCBA Scholarship Fund Application is ready and has been distributed to local high schools. The deadline to apply is April 28th (must by postmarked by this date).
Details are included in this newsletter and on the SCBA website. Good luck to all!
Please be on the lookout for the 2020 SCBA Member Directory which was mailed to over 15,000 homes and businesses in Carroll County last week. This is the first year the SCBA has mailed the directory to our community and we hope it's a tremendous added value to our members.
Please save the date for our one and only fundraiser - our annual Golf Tournament.
It will be held on Tuesday, September 22, 2020 at the Links at Challedon. Net proceeds go directly to the SCBA Scholarship Fund to help local students.
As always, we encourage you to participate in our events and to support each other and our great community.
