Thank you for the beautiful story. Briana actually received this scholarship last year, when she was a senior in high school, but time contraints prevented her from meeting with the town council last year to accept the proclamation from Mayor Tempesta. Mr. Cecere knew Briana was home from Rowan for her semester break, and asked if she could attend the January meeting. She was thrilled to be asked.
