Society Plans for 2010

Our vision for 2010 includes the expansion of our scholarship program, as finances allow; improved communication with all members of the Society, utilizing modern technology; and greater involvement of Society members through the use of sub-committees populated by all Society members, not just members of the Board of Directors.

We welcome your suggestions and input throughout the year.

Hopkin Memorial Scholarships

John and Bonita always placed a great deal of emphasis on education, having experienced the difference education made in their lives. Both John and Bonita graduated from the University of Wyoming, an unusual accomplishment given that they grew up in a rural farming community during the Great Depression. John went on to receive a Masters Degree from the University of Wyoming and a PhD from the University of Iowa.

When Bonita passed away in 2002, the Hopkin Family Society established a scholarship in her name at her high school in Afton, Wyoming for a deserving graduating senior interested in literature. When John passed away in 2005, the Hopkin Family Society established a scholarship fund in his name at his high school in Afton, Wyoming for a deserving graduating senior interested in agribusiness.

Candidates interested in either of these scholarships should contact:
