[Ohio-talk] Springfield Chapter

[Aleeha Dudley]

I am very happy to see this. Scholarships are so important to not only
our affiliate, but also to the students and to the national
organization. Thank you Springfield for your incredible generosity.
Also a belated thank you to Crystal and Marc for your generosity. As
student division president, I'm sure I can speak for the rest of the
members of the student division as well when I say this.
