Michael Gould Memorial Scholarship Softball Game 7.27.08

On Sunday, July 27,2008 @ 3pm a softball game fundraiser will be held at the Robert E. Melican Middle School on Lincoln Street in Northborough for the Michael Gould Memorial Scholarship.

Michael, a life long resident of Northborough, passed away tragically in July of 2000, at the tender age of 19.

In his memory, the Gould Family and Northboro/Southboro’s Algonquin Regional High School have set up the Michael Gould Memorial Scholarship Fund, which financially assists young students who have not only faced, but overcome in a healthy manner, adversity. The scholarship awards three deserving seniors and asks them to write an essay about hardships and adversities they have faced, overcome and grown from. Since the scholarship began, thanks to the many generous and active members of our community, we have been able to give 3 scholarships each year, ranging in value from $500.00 to $1000.00 per scholarship.

Through unsurpassed generosities over the past eight years, the scholarship fund has raised over $15,000.00 to reward those young adults who have overcome a hardship in their life with a promise of a brighter future.

Donation per ticket will be sold at the door, by individuals, and by calling the contact number below.

Food, beverages @ raffle prizes are being donated for the event by local businesses.

STATE ANIMAL CHARITY "I'M ANIMAL FRIENDLY" LICENSE PLATES

Massachusetts drivers are letting their love for animals show while aiding efforts to ease the state's homeless pet problem when they proudly display their "I'm Animal Friendly" license plates.

"I'm Animal Friendly" license plates can be ordered online through Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicle's website (www.mass.gov/rmv) or through any full-service state registry branch. The initial cost of the plate is $40, $28 of which will be used to help fund statewide spay/neuter programs. The remaining $12 is a one-time cost to cover the manufacturing of the plate. Upon registration renewal, the entire $40 will go to spay/neuter programs.

Every year, there are approximately 725,000 homeless dogs and cats in Massachusetts. MAC expects that as of June 2008, a total of almost $500,000 will have been granted out and more than 10,000 animals will have been spayed/neutered as a result of the license plate program since its inception in 2004.
