Mineola Chamber Awards 2013 College Scholarships

The Mineola Chamber of Commerce selected its annual recipients of the Jerry Mehlman Scholarship Award during its final meeting of the season at Piccola Bussola on June 18.

Originally dubbed the Mineola Chamber of Commerce scholarships, the award was  in honor of Jerry Mehlman, one of the founders of the Mineola Chamber, who passed away in 2011 at the age of 86. The awards are given annually to one graduating senior each from Mineola High School and Chaminade High School.

This year there were in fact three recipients: Fred Lang and Angela McColgan of Mineola High School and Chaminade student Christopher Heller.

McColgan is one of 70 AP scholar students while Lang, a runner, recently placed at the 2013 nationals. Heller  is among the 32 recipients of the 20th Annual Good Deed Awards for Long Island Teenagers and is looking to attend Catholic University in the fall.
