One of the special bonuses of SSMC membership is the chance to qualify for an SSMC Scholarship to attend a mushroom event. In the past, emphasis has been on NAMA-sponsored events, including the last two significant annual NAMA forays. This year's annual NAMA event is in Vermont at the end of September. The Scholarship Committee has allocated money and hopes to assist up to three SSMC members in attending this event. To apply, one needs to fill in the online form and submit it!

The scholarships are primarily funded through raffle sales at regular SSMC meetings and, hopefully starting this year, at the SSMC Spring Show. Any donated items or raffle purchases are greatly appreciated; the more club members contribute to the raffle efforts, the more scholarships we can provide to our members. This year, thanks to the generous donation by artist and past president of SSMC, Rachel Friedman, we will be offering a one-of-a-kind piece of snowflake marble on a granite base - Driving Towards Center! You can also donate just by clicking this link - it is really that easy!
