Community and club members gathered at the Aspen Glen Club near Carbondale recently for an evening of fine wine tasting and fundraising to kick off the new Aspen Glen Scholar Fund to benefit local Colorado Mountain College students.

CMC Foundation administrators and members of the Aspen Glen community are working together to create a scholarship to benefit residents in the Roaring Fork Valley who graduate with an associate degree from Colorado Mountain College and then wish to pursue a bachelor’s degree at the community college. Organizers hope to be able to fund two $2,500 scholarships for local students each year.
