TINO FULIMENI SCHOLARSHIP ANNOUNCED
The ICD Local Joint Committe would like to remind everyone that it is time to register for the annual Tino Fulimeni Scholarship.

In 2009, five $1000 scholarships were awarded to various children and grandchildren of steelworkers. This year, despite difficult economic times, ICD is committed to awarding at least three Fulimeni Scholarships. The Tino Fulimeni Scholarship Fund was established to honor the memory of Brother Fulimeni. Tino was a fanatic about ICD. His commitment and contribution are evident in the success of the Career Development Program. Applications are due by October 15, 2010. The Fund is administered by ICD in Merrillville, IN.
