Event: Young Scholars Fall Family Gathering 2013 – By the Numbers

Last weekend Foundation staff enjoyed hosting our annual Young Scholars Fall Family Gathering for local Young Scholars and their families.  JKCF staff spent the afternoon catching up with some of our older Young Scholars and getting to know our newly selected local Young Scholars.
