鈥淭ogether Again鈥� is the theme for the Nov. 17 Student Investment Luncheon.
鈥淲e are excited to be able to come together again with our supporters and the students

鈥淚 can鈥檛 tell you how much these scholarships mean to the students receiving them,鈥�
Harbin added. 鈥淪ometimes even what may seem like a small amount makes a huge difference
to a student who is trying to complete their education and needs some help over a
financial hurdle. I鈥檓 honored every time we鈥檙e able to help a student realize a dream
or meet a goal they鈥檝e set for themselves.鈥�
