      By Jackie Holfelder
         Recently, forty employees of Sandhill Cove Retirement
      Living and/or their children were selected to receive scholarships.
         In previous years, the scholarships were presented
      at a lovely reception at the Palm City location, but due
      to physical distancing constraints, this year’s recipients
      were notified by telephone and mail. A video presentation
      honoring the students is planned for May.
         New to the program this year are awards for
      seven advanced degree scholarships in addition to 33
      scholarships for undergraduate programs.

      home for coffee to discuss   Mary Helen Keim       and when she confronted
