Emma Inge plans on majoring in media communications at either Oregon State University or Linfield College in Oregon, while Kate Inge plans on majoring in nursing at Gonzaga University.
The scholarships were established by chapter members who donated all or part of their Legacy monies to educate the future generations of Puyallup Valley members and families.
This year’s Scholarship Committee included Eileen Yamada Lamphere, Leslie Soule and Elsie Taniguchi.
In addition, the event featured the installation of the chapter’s 2019 board, which was installed by JACL PNW Governor Chip Larouche.
