Members of the ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ and local communities came together July 19 at the College’s historic Surrey-Williamson Inn to support the Joseph C. and Anne T. Palamountain Scholarship Fund, raising more than $150,000 to benefit students who, because of financial need, might not otherwise be able to attend ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ.
