2004 Scholarships

Annette Mumford

Annette is from Winchester, Wisconsin and has lived on South Turtle Lake her entire life.  She plans to attend the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point this fall with a major in Communications.

Heather Benke

Heather will be attending Black Hawk College and will double major in Equestrian Science and Horse Technology.  After completing her education she wants to train, show and board horses.  She enjoys working with the local pony clubbers and the Riders In Motion special ed mentor group.  She believes that working with kids and horses prepares them for their future years.  Heather is determined and set on her goals.

In High School Heather found herself volunteering in the communities around her.  She was a member of the Intercultural Leadership Initiative, a girl scout, taught riding lessons for kids at Sunshine Equestrian Acres in Winchester.  She collected tabs for the Ronald McDonald House, volunteered at Our Lady Queen of Peace Church in Manitowish Waters, an active volunteer at WCMC raffle table and found time to maintain a job.

Heather is one of those students, that does it because she wants too, not for awards or recognition.  The love that she shares by helping kids and students is so great.  Heather is a young lady who enjoys every bit of life to the fullest.

It is such an honor that the WCMC awarded Heather  this scholarship. She has  the potential and determination that epitomizes this award.

Congratulations to all three of our recipients and may their future be bright and successful.
