Mountain Empire Community College issued the following announcement on Aug. 6
After careful consideration, the MECC Foundation is postponing our August 28 Scott County Endowed Scholarship event until spring 2022. With a spike in COVID cases in our area, the CDC designating our service region as having a high or substantially high transmission risk, and respecting our regional health care system, the MECC Foundation feels it is best to make the decision now to protect our community. This was not an easy decision, but we believe it is best at this time. We are working with our venue and entertainment to find an appropriate date for spring. In the meantime, we will contact our sponsors and ticket holders with options for refunds or continuation of their sponsorship to the spring event.
