Marcos Borges awarded the first ever IRBBA Memorial Scholarship winners their certificates April 25, 2009, at the IRBBA Annual Meeting in College Station, Texas.  This year’s recipients are Katy Knox of La Porte, Texas and Benjamin Wishert of Magnolia, Texas.  Katy will be attending Texas A&M and will study Agricultural Communications.  Ben will also be attending Texas A&M and will study Nuclear Engineering.  Both students were awarded checks for $1,000.00 to go towards furthering their education.  Please help us congratulate them on a job well done.

 

The IRBBA Memorial Scholarship was developed to help honor two great former members of the IRBBA: Ms. Wilma Buffaloe and Mr. Jim Hunt.  Both families and the members of the IRBBA take great pride in presenting these scholarships in remembrance of these beloved breeders.
