"It is always hard to choose how many students to give scholarships to; either a couple of students so more money is awarded in each scholarship, or more students, but less money," said Joof. "But this year, we figured that [$300] is an amount that works and makes a difference [to the students], " he said.
The club has 170 members, but only "one-third of them are really active, since most of them [have] graduated, transferred and have moved out far from here," said Joof. "We are always eager to have more members."
"[We are] always looking for more staff, current students and alumni to participate," Alumni President Ana Artiga said.
Recognition awards were also given to members of the Patrons club. Ann H. Ransford, a member of the board of trustees, was recognized for her distinguished service to GCC. Ransford was the former director of communications for the Glendale College Foundation. She was also a member of the executive board of the YMCA, YWCA and Glendale Chamber of Commerce.
Pat Crouch received an award for career achievement and community service in her profession in real estate and Judy Gorham was awarded the Patrons Club Presidential Award for her active role in promoting education.
