The K. Ray Bailey Invitational Golf Classic was held on June 2 at Mount Mitchell Golf Club to raise funds for the scholarship programs at A-B Tech. This event’s proceeds fund one of the largest student scholarships offered by the Office of College Advancement. For 2017-18, it is predicted that 35 scholarships will be made to A-B Tech students, totaling $45,000. There were 135 golfers supporting this year’s tournament with a number of teams and sponsors joining for the first time this year.
This year’s scholarship recipient speaker was Meira Padilla. She is a second-year pre-nursing student interested in becoming a pediatric nurse practitioner once she finishes her education.
