Katelyn Colleen Fosta selected as the 2012 recipient

On May 17th at the Eleanor Roosevelt High School's Senior Awards Ceremony, the David Craig Memorial Scholarship Fund announced that Katelyn Colleen Fosta has been selected the 2012 receipient.  Katelyn the captain of both the softball and swimming teams also competed in soccer and cross country.  Outside of ERHS she participates in sports as a member of the Laurel swim team and with the Adelphi/Beltsville boys and girls club.  It is safe to say she truly enjoys all aspects of athletic competition.  She was P.G. County's Girl of the Year in 2008.  Dedication and willingness are words used to describe her tremendous attributes throughout her personal reference letters.  Letters tell numerous stories of leadership traits and selfless acts in her school, her neighborhood, and her house of worship.

A Tough Choice - Katelyn Fosta selected for David Craig Scholarship

In selecting this year’s David Craig Memorial Scholarship Foundation recipient, Katelyn Fosta, the Board of Directors had a hard choice among the nine applicants. We were awed at the applicants’ vast experiences and work; it was wonderful to learn what seniors at ERHS are doing on and off campus to better the world around them. All have reason to be proud of their conduct, maturity and enthusiasm in volunteer service.

As we near the end of the year, please think of the David Craig Memorial Scholarship Fund to support this year! See the message below from our President, Doug Mangum, about our successful
Raider Roast this Labor Day -- See you there next year!

Hello Everyone,


Happy Thanksgiving and start to a joyous Holiday season.

As the christian church begins a new year on Sunday, and the Advent season begins with a mindset of preparation, I thought now was a good time to inform our donors of the DCMSF's preparations for 2012. The First Annual Raider Roast was a huge success both in funds raised and with participants attendance. We sold 263 tickets and with donations and auction sales we cleared over $7,000.00. We plan to have another celebration next Labor Day.

The Raider Roast and this Solicitation Letter are the Funds only means of current Fundraising. So as Americans begin to enjoy times with family and friends to cherish their blessings during the upcoming Holy Days it is our intent to enjoy and cherish the things we are doing in David's name as well as cherish the people responsible for these things. You are one of those people and we appreciate all that you contribute to this very good and meaningful cause.

Thank You!

Our fundraising campaign has kicked off and some of our donors will receive this email or a personal letter or both. Please consider us (The DCMSF) as one of those charities you hold dear to your heart. As always we are a non profit corporation under the laws of the state of Maryland and all gits are tax deductible. With this years past pay-outs we have granted over $100,000.00 in financial assistance for college over the period of 1986 to the present. Again that is due to your unwavering support. So if you are able to contribute this year, payments can be sent to the David Craig Memeorial Scholarship fund, P.O. Box 761, Greenbelt Maryland 20768.

Happy Holidays and may God Bless us All! Hammer!

Sincerely,
Douglas A. Mangum, President, DCMSF
