Boston Scholars Program

Dear Boston Scholars Supporter:

We are pleased to report more good news from the Boston Scholars Program and to include you in the many opportunities to join us in opening doors through educational opportunity.

Boston Scholars Welcomes Our Newest Employeehxxxxxxhh Laurine Lamour joined the Boston Scholars Program as our Program Manager on June 5, 2006. In this position, she will focus on developing the Program and managing the Boston Scholars experience for our Scholars, Mentors, and families. Originally from East Boston, Laurine comes with a passion for providing educational opportunities for Boston-area youth.

The Second Annual Mike Sullivan Memorial Golf Tournament
On April 30, 2006, RFID Journal and the Boston Scholars Program hosted the 2nd Annual Mike Sullivan Memorial Golf Tournament at Silverstone Golf Club in Las Vegas, NV as a part of the RFID Journal Live! 2006 Conference. We enjoyed a beautiful day, good golf (by some), and fun for all. Thanks to the strong support from our sponsors and hard work from our volunteers, our fundraising effort exceeded $56,000!

Mike Sullivan worked with the Auto-ID team at Gillette and was active in EPCglobal's standardization efforts. He passed away suddenly in 2005 from a heart attack, and his friends and colleagues chose to honor his memory by creating the Mike Sullivan Memorial Scholarship Fund to benefit the Boston Scholars Program. Please click here for more information on the Fund.

Special thanks to Tournament Sponsors RFID Journal and Rob Short and Hole Sponsors Alien Technology Corporation, Avery Dennison, HK Systems, OATSystems, Symbol, ThingMagic, Tyco/ADT, Verisign, Unisys, LXE, ODIN technologies, Shipcom Wireless, and Sirit.
