CONGRATULATIONS TO MVC SCHOLARS!
           Mountain Vista Communities hosted a Scholarship
           Luncheon to celebrate the 10 Michaels
           Organization Educational Foundation (TMOEF)
           recipients.
            Of the 10 scholars awarded at MVC, four were able
            to join in on the celebration. One scholar, was
            attending summer football camp in Texas so his
            parents took his place, making it a special way for
       them to honor their son in his absence.
       The Michaels Organization, Regional Vice President
       Carlos Proano recognized the scholars with an
       informative speech on Mr. and Mrs. Levitt’s dedication
       to education and Michaels overall mission of Lifting
       Lives. MVC Community Director, Shellie Cerecke gave a      INSIDE THIS ISSUE
       presentation summarizing the goals and ambitions of        Community
       these young students.                                      Information………………..2
