Sand Creek Country Club Awards Two Scholarships
On September 4th, Sand Creek employees Samantha Hickle and Matt Mellen were named recipients of Alice Wesson Scholarships. The fund was established in memory of Alice, a longtime employee of Sand Creek who was killed in a tragic car accident in 2000. Both Samantha and Matt have worked at Sand Creek and will use the well-deserved funds to continue their studies at the University of St. Francis and Ball State University, respectively.
