Scholarship Committee appreciation
  BSCC would like to thank our scholarship selection committee for their commitment, dedication and for the hours of hard work they have given so our scholarship program can be so successful. In 2011 they had to review almost 100 applications and pick just two winners. We would like to give a special thank you to Patricia Bodnar, Suz Kling and Sharon Martin for their service as readers since the very first year of our scholarship committee. We would also like to thank Susan Chambers, Tom Mitchell who have served for more than one year and we would like to thank Stacie Burns as well  
     
AT&T to Inspect Cables
  AT&T announced it will inspect the cables this summer but they have not confirmed a date for this activity. The cables have been repaired a couple of times close to landfall but inspection out to 700 fathoms, usually a routine activity, has not been done in many years. The cable are supposed to be inspected at least every five years and often are put off because of the availability of the ships can can perform this activity.  
     
Marine Discovery Tours Project 22
  This project has become one of the most popular field trips for schools in Oregon. In 2011 we had 26 schools participate in the program with 1,023 students and 219 chaperones and teachers.
