Celebrating the Women’s League of Canton scholarships were, from left, Marcelyn Norrell, Catherine Irwin, Paige Peace, Jacob Vogt, Kiley Conner, Donna Birdsong, Renne Riffe and Cristie Martin.

The Women’s League of Canton held their monthly meeting May 12 at the Crawford House with the officers as hostesses for the evening.

President Donna Birdsong called the meeting to order and introduced Marcelyn Norrell to name our scholarship recipients for the 2015 Canton seniors.

Each year the Women’s League of Canton gives out three scholarships in memory of Sue Hilliard, Mallory Norrell and Burke Lewis. The recipients this year are: Kiley Connor – Sue Hilliard Scholarship; Travis Riffe – Mallory Norrell Scholarship; and Jacob Vogt – Burke Lewis Scholarship.

Each of these students wrote an essay and were hand picked by members of Women’s League, club members said.

Dinner was served by the hostesses, the collect was read and the meeting was adjourned.
