Meet Crystal Dickens, Recipient of The Young Professionals' Scholarship for 2010

Please meet Crystal Dickens, our first SoCal scholarship recipient ever and the 15th YPG Scholarship Recipient.  Crystal is the first person in her family to go to college and the first college-bound graduate of Eco Academy.  We are so proud of her.  Crystal will be attending our fundraiser on July 10, 2010 to receive her scholarship award in person.  If you're in the Los Angeles area, please come out and meet her in person!
