Last year the Magnolia Area Chamber of Commerce expanded their scholarship program by increasing amounts given to high school seniors and resident students. Board members also incorporated a scholarship for those working on a study program for a GED. The amount of the scholarship, $200, is designed to cover the cost of the class, study materials, and the fee to take the examination.

Come enjoy golf and a family picnic with the members and supporters of The Light House Education Center Saturday, April 5. The event will be held at the Houston Oaks Golf and Country Club that is located on Hegar Road just off FM2920.

This is not a typical golf tournament where the players go off and leave the family. The center is all about family, and this beautiful location was selected because of the amenities that will make a picnic a special event and an all-day affair. The day will end with a barbecue dinner prepared by area public officials.

The Light House Education Center was created to provide a place of learning for students who are home schooled but who can receive additional instruction in specific subjects. The center owns property on FM1488 where a facility will be built. Currently they meet in the Believers Fellowship Church on FM149.
