Regarding the Dyslexia project which was discussed at
the August 18, 2008 meeting, Mildred will contact Michelle to find
out if Michelle spoke with Robert to see if awarding a scholarship to
Sylvan Learning Center for one child conflicted with the Foundation’s
By-Laws. If there is no conflict with the By-Laws, then Mildred
will contact Christi Sharon at Sylvan Learning Center to determine if
the child is enrolled in the Sylvan program for children with
dyslexia.
On motion of Mike, seconded by John, if there is no
conflict with the By-Laws and if the child is enrolled at Sylvan in
the program for children with dyslexia, it is agreed that Shining
Light will fund $250 of the cost of the program, and the balance of
$250 will be funded by donors specifically for this scholarship.
