Wednesday, March 22, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Sisters GRO highlights scholarships Sisters GRO (Graduate Resource Organization) is highlighting two scholar- ships available for graduat- ing seniors, from SisTech Manufacturing and Shibui Spa. SisTech Manufacturing, based in Bend, provides con- tract electronic manufactur- ing and mechanical assembly services to high-technology companies. They have over 30 years experience in high- tech assembly, design review, purchasing, project manage- ment, and order fulfillment for some of the largest com- panies, as well as rapidly growing startups. The owners, Brad and Lorraine (Lori) Kennedy, residents of Sisters, who wished to give back to the community and support fur- ther education, established their scholarship in 2015. The SisTech Manufacturing Inc. Engineering Scholarship awards $8,000 to one gradu- ate pursuing a mechanical or electrical engineering degree. It is disbursed over four years and requires a minimum GPA. Brad and Lori shared that as a manufacturer in the fast- paced high-tech industry, they recognize a need for further education in a field as diverse as engineering. They would like to encourage youth to seek out education opportu- nities in the ever-changing world of technology. High- tech industry businesses rely on engineers for their employee pool; however, their business depends on non- technical workers as well. The Kennedys agree that it was gratifying to receive confirmation from Sisters GRO that Rory Petterson’s (Brigham Young University) scholarship award was dis- bursed. Lori and Brad felt good knowing they are giv- ing deserving students a hand up with their education. They appreciated that Sisters GRO guided them through the scholarship establish- ment process with ease, and assisted with establish- ing criteria that honors their intentions to support their scholarship. Shibui Scholarship was started in 2015 to continue giving back to the commu- nity and school district here in Sisters, explained Zoe and Bill Willitts. “We had two children attend school here and have always been inspired by the See SISTERS GRO on page 9 DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE: STUDDED TIRES MUST BE OFF YOUR VEHICLES BY MIDNIGHT, MARCH 31 THUNDERER CITY R202 TH TERRAMAX H/T Starting at Starting at 39 $ 99 $ P155/80TR-13 All-season traction Aff ordable pricing Tread design may vary. p Your size in stock.
