Currently, Kathleen is involved in Unified Track and Unified Bocce, Tennis, and Ski Club, just to name a few. She also participates in Rosie’s class, an after-school program for middle and high school students with special needs.
Ellen Lippy is a member of First Capital Federal Credit Union. She attends Eastern York High School and will head off to Penn State in the fall to pursue a nursing degree. Ellen is very involved in her school and with her community. She is in Student Council, SADD Club, Interact Club, and National Honor Society. And, she volunteers as an assistant youth girl’s lacrosse coach and with her church.
“We are proud to support our Credit Union members by offering these scholarships,” said Debra Kauffman, Chapter President. “We wish both of them success in college.”
