You might have noticed on your renewal notices the line that says "Voluntary Education Scholarship Fund Contribution" and wondered exactly what that meant - let us explain!
Each year, the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce provides students at Dana Hills High School scholarships for those that are interested in pursuing a career in Business, Community Service, Culinary Arts, Marine Science and Tourism/Hotel Management. In 2014,we
