We had a great time in Rancho. Tonights club talked about how to get great Recommendations and References. We even passed out a lot of handouts for recommenders, goal sheets, and the tracking tool. Oh, you didn’t get the handouts? That’s ok, just go to our INSIDERS site on Nexo. You’ll have to join the Scholarship Club INSIDERS to get our free stuff, but it’s free to join.
