Seward County Community College kicked off its seventh annual Phonathon Tuesday, with student manning the phone bank to solicit donations for scholarships. The Phonathon will continue for through April 12, said Associate Director of Institutional Advancement Charity Horinek. Liberal and area residents who receive phone calls from students working for the Phonathon should not be surprised, she said: the Phonation is legitimate. "It's something we do every year, and we appreciate the people who take the calls," she said. "It makes a difference for students who receive scholarships." To contribute to the scholarship fund, contact Horinek at 620-417-1133, or via email at charity.horinek@sccc.edu.
