Pentucket group seeks scholarship donations

Anonymous Newburyport Daily News The Daily News of Newburyport Tue Dec 11, 2012, 02:00 AM EST

To the editor:

Families and businesses in the Pentucket region have recently received the annual appeal from the Pentucket Regional Scholarship Foundation. This is the only solicitation we will send out this year.

Our organization, over 50 years old, has bestowed thousands of dollars in college scholarships to deserving students in our region. Maybe you or your child received one. Last year we awarded $70,000 in scholarships. We will continue helping our students with their ever-increasing college expenses.

Our capability to provide scholarships is only limited by the donations we receive. Please consider making a tax-deductible gift to the foundation. You can mail your check to: PRSF, Box 36, Groveland, MA 01834.

Sally Cookman

Chairman, Pentucket Regional Scholarship Foundation

Column: Let's drain the swamp that harbors the IRS alligators

I've never been personally audited by the IRS. Maybe the secret is to not have enough money to justify its effort. Citizens for Limited Taxation, being purely and proudly political, isn't a tax-exempt organization. In April 1983, we did create a res
