Mid-October notes

1. Sunflower Bank's Community Ambassadors is now accepting applications from high school seniors graduating in 2011.
The Community Ambassadors program encourages student leaders to consider their hometown community as a viable place to live and work after higher education. It is administered locally at area Sunflower Banks, with sessions featuring guest speakers and discussion topics centered around community leadership and entrepreneurship. Each class will award a $1,000, $500, and $250 scholarship at the commencement of the program. Also, all ambassadors throughout Kansas and Colorado are invited to compete for three grand $1,000 scholarships awarded by Sunflower Bank.
Each Commuity Ambassadors class will consist of at least nine participants. Program membership is limited to a small group in each market, with applicants evaluated on current class work, community activities, and a series of short essay questions.
Students may pick up applications in the guidance office, at Sunflower Bank, or apply at http://www.sunflowerbank.com/.
The extended deadline for applications is quickly approaching. Applications need to be in hand by Friday, November 19th.
