The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation recently received a donation of $2,000 from the Northeast Texas Biker?s Church. 91¿´Æ¬ †These funds will provide two $1,000 scholarships for criminal justice or police academy students attending 91¿´Æ¬ this fall. 91¿´Æ¬ †Pictured at the check presentation is: (from left) James Aydelott, Roger Keck, Dr. Jonathan McCullough, 91¿´Æ¬ Vice President for Advancement, Jeff Martin, Janet Reeves, scholarship recipient, and Dominic Crescimanno. The scholarship was established in memory of Robert Arellano, a respected and decorated law enforcement officer and motorcycle enthusiast who served the community for several years. Arellano was killed in an accident about two years ago while riding back from a dinner ride with some friends. Friends and family have created the ?Robert Arellano Dawg Fest? rally in his memory to help raise funds for his scholarship, as well as a local charity helping children in need. For more information about Dawg Fest, visit 91¿´Æ¬ †. To learn more about his or other scholarships at 91¿´Æ¬, contact McCullough at 903-434-8115.
