The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation recently received a $1,000 gift from Jerald and Mary Lou Mowery. They are pictured presenting the gift to Nita May (right), NTCC Director of Development. Their gift, along with donations from numerous other friends, provided a total $7,500 to fund deserving projects submitted to the annual Whatley Employee Enhancement Fund grant. Each year, NTCC employees submit applications for innovative projects that go above-and-beyond what can be funded with their departmental budgets. This year, $9,000 was awarded through the competitive grant. Mary Lou Mowery, who serves on the selection committee, wanted to ensure that even more projects were funded. The Mowery’s $1,000 gift, plus an additional $2,000 she helped raised privately, specifically provided support to several annual Honors Northeast projects.
