Penn State-WB kicks-off annual fund drive The Penn State Wilkes-Barre Annual Fund Steering Committee met recently to kick-off the 1989- 90 Annual Fund Campaign. The Annual Fund raises monies for scholarships and special faculty projects on the campus in Lehman. “Last year's campaign raised $100,000, an all-time record with this year's goal set to exceed $125,000,” said Joseph Rymar, Chairman of the Annual Fund. A majority of the money raised pro- vides scholarships to Penn State Wilkes-Barre students. This year, 69 scholarships were provided at Penn State Wilkes- Barre, 55 were made possible by the Annual Fund monies. This 125% Anniversar year's recipients include 29 fresh- men and 26 sophomores. “As a campus alum, I've been able to watch the Annual Fund grow,” said Rymar. “It is important to exceed last year's total so that not only can the University in- crease the number of scholarships, but the average size of the awards.” 1.
