A message from
Thomas D. Bellinger,
Chairman Emeritus...

V V S GRADUATES
You just graduated from high school.
You have attained the first goal of your life.
Over 20 years ago I met some wonderful people. They were the
founders of Dollars for Scholars, a Neighbor Helping Neighbor
program. It motivated me to bring a few friends together to start
VVS Dollars for Scholars.
What a wonderful venture it has been! It brings joy to my heart to
see what we are witnessing tonight. It would be my hope that many
of you will become a part of this American Dream. You could make a
difference in your neighbors life.
I welcome you to the challenge of life and the opportunities that you
will have. Many let that opportunity pass by. If it comes before you,
dont be afraid. Just do it !
Thomas D. Bellinger,
Chairman Emeritus
June 21, 2011
