A special meeting has been scheduled for March 7 for parents who are unable to attend Wednesday meetings. Parents are encouraged to attend one of the upcoming meetings.

Project Graduation offers a safe way for seniors to celebrate graduation night with their classmates in a fun environment free from drugs and alcohol and shows young people others care about them. To make a donation, make checks payable to LHS Project Graduation and send to P.O. Box 481, Lecanto, FL 34460. Contact chairman Agda Hart, 382-3582, or Charlene Geraghty, 746-4947.

SECO SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM: Up to 12 students in Sumter Electric Cooperative's service territory will be chosen to receive $2,000 youth scholarships. To be eligible, students must reside in homes served by SECO, be graduating seniors and be enrolled in an accredited college, university or vocational/technical school by the end of 2005. Applications are available at all SECO offices and in high school guidance offices. Deadline for applications is March 25.

LENTEN FISH FRY: Pope John Paul II Catholic School's eighth-grade class will host fish fry events in the school cafeteria Fridays from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. through March 18. The cost is $3 for children age 3 through eighth grade and $5 for adults. All are welcome.

SPRING CONCERT: Tickets are available for the Sugarmill Chorale's spring concert, which will be at 3 p.m. April 9 at Curtis Peterson Auditorium in Lecanto.

There will be special recognition for veterans as a part of the program.

The group performs two concerts annually: one close to the Christmas holidays, the other in spring close to Easter. A portion of the concerts' proceeds goes to provide a $1,000 vocal music scholarship that is given each year to a Citrus County graduating senior whose career goal will use vocal music in performance, teaching, music therapy or other related fields.

Tickets for the April 9 concert cost $6 each and are available from any chorale member or by calling 382-5865.
