Each recipient also received an additional $200 in memory of Frank Proctor Sr and Carolyn Anderson, both of whom were dedicated members of the Alumni Association and advocates of education by supporting the scholarship fund. The recipients also received a certificate of merit and a beautiful bouquet of flowers donated by Blossom’s Florist of Mexia.
