PORT ANGELES — Womanfest, the nonprofit that has sponsored International Women’s Day events and other programs on the North Olympic Peninsula for more than 25 years, has awarded $500 scholarships to two recent high school graduates.
Tiana Abrams of Port Angeles, who plans to attend Washington State University and pursue a law degree, and Mackenzie Hagstrom of Sequim, who is studying to become a nurse-midwife, are the recipients.
Funding for the scholarships comes from the annual Womanfest Fall Retreat at Camp David Junior, the Clallam County park on the north shore of Lake Crescent.
For details about this year’s retreat on Sept. 21-23 — open to women in Jefferson and Clallam counties, it includes meals, lakeside and lodge activities and relaxation time for $95 per person — go to the group’s website at womanfest.org.
