A Brief History
We’re working on a more thorough account, but our branch was originally founded quite a while ago. Later, a member bequeathed the branch with a scholarship fund that became the focus of the branch. The Mavis Standefer Scholarship Fund assisted non-traditional students in Faulkner County complete their degrees from the University of Central Arkansas, Central Baptist College, and Hendrix College.

When the Mavis Standefer Scholarship Fund was exhausted in 2018, it provided an opportunity to reboot the branch. We’re reorganizing, recruiting, and looking to bring the awesome programs and opportunities to Faulkner County, Arkansas.
