INDIAN FALLS — Four local students planning to further their education in the field of hearing received scholarships from Batavia's Quota Club during their annual dinner at Indian Falls Fire Hall.
Students this year who each received $600 were Stephanie Halat from Oakfield/Alabama, Lydia Milligan from Pavilion, Eva Muir from Pembroke and Sophia Farnholz from Le Roy.
Halat is planning to attend Genesee Community College to study liberal arts, then transfer to Fredonia for a major in education; Milligan will enter Elmira College to pursue a degree in speech and language disability studies; Muir will pursue her field of study in sociology/deaf culture at New Paltz State College; while Farnholz will study communication disorders/speech pathology at Nazareth College.
Quota Club works all year to raise money for their community service projects, said longtime member Liz Weber. Through a clothing shed at the First Presbyterian Church in Batavia, they collect donations of clothing, which is then sold to St. Pauly's Mission in Rochester.
They have been able to purchase several newborn hearing screeners for United Memorial Medical Center through these efforts, as well as give several scholarships each year.
