We acknowledge the generosity and impact of community entrepreneurs! June 24, 2019 Dear HMS parents, ,    Sixteen teams teed off last Tuesday, June 18, at the beautiful French Creek Golf Club in Elverson. The annual benefit golf outing raised over $13,000 of net proceeds for our school's annual operating needs. In addition to the fun and networking, we enjoyed two delicious meals and beautiful weather!           Congratulations!  Sponsor Tim Martin and his foursome, Nathaniel Martin, Ted Maack, Shawn Han, won the event with a scramble score of 59.  Ted Miller and his foursome from Miller's Building Supply and Co., Inc. took the runner-up slot.     Two surprises for the day . . .    HOLE-IN-ONE  HMS patron Russ Akinin made our first-ever hole-in-one at an HMS event.  Russ is pictured here receiving a Hole #5 commemorative flag from French Creek Director of Golf, Mike Timmons (center) and HMS Director of Advancement, Jody Fausnight (right). Akinin's 106-yard hole-in-one won him a Club Glove travel bag set, underwritten by Rocky Ridge Auto Sales, Inc. for the benefit outing's three-par holes.      POOL-IN-THE-POND WINNER  A lot of excitement surrounded a unique "pool in the pond" contest where golfers took a shot from the back patio of the club house into a pool anchored in the middle of a pond. Joe Leaman of CCAB Insurance & Benefits, Inc. won the $300 cash prize.  See more pictures from the event on our Facebook page.   We are grateful for the many golfers, sponsors, and donors of goods, services and prize items for the event.  Sponsors are recognized below. Participants may download pics of their foursome and event play at the Facebook page as well. Thanks for the ways you and your business engage in the work of Hinkletown Mennonite School!

Thanks to the many businesses and individuals who take the time to learn about and participate in the EITC program, about 60% of HMS families benefit from some level of need-based scholarship!    Up to $100 million in new funding was proposed for EITC scholarships in 2019-2020 through House Bill 800.  However, recent votes to affirm this increase in the PA House and Senate were vetoed this past week by Governor Tom Wolf.    Read more about how the increased funding might still get included in the PA budget.    Will an increase in funding benefit you? An increase in funding could broaden the limited number of tax credits available to eligible businesses contributing to a Scholarship Organization. A quick overview:  Re-application for credits began on May 15 for businesses already in years one or two of a two-year commitment.  New applicants for EITC/OSTC tax credits can start the process of applying on July 1.  Applications must be submitted electronically using DCED's Single Application for Assistance.
