AFRC was proud to present two scholarships to the Community College of Aurora Foundation this week. The first was the result of our penguin parade fundraiser to benefit paralegal students. The second was in memory of Rotarian Karl Van Etten for the benefit of business students. Thank you all for your support of AFRC over the years. Because of you, we get to make these impacts in our community.
