CORRECTION
In an article that appeared in the Sentinel on Friday pertaining to the first Harriet L. Scott Scholarship presentation, the article should have identified Vis- tra Communications as a partner agency, who originated the idea for the schol- arship. It was named in honor of Mrs. Harriet L. Scott, who retired from Positive Spin, Inc. as its Founder and first Executive Director.
The Sentinel apologizes for any inconvenience the error may have caused.
