OAKWOOD - Three Hall countians were singled-out for special recognition at this year's Gainesville College Foundation Annual Meeting and Thank You Celebration.

The 38th annual event, which benefited GC Scholarships, was attended by more than 300 people and the silent and live auctions raised $25,249.

During the annual meeting, several individuals were recognized for their dedication and service to the school. The foundation selected Philip Wilheit to become an Honorary Life Trustee - the highest honor the foundation bestows.

The alumni association presented the Distinguished Alumnus Award to Dave Simpson for his "tireless yet unassuming" service to the association, foundation and college.

The Distinguished Service Award, also presented by the alumni association, was presented to Mrs. Mary Cleveland. The 90-year-old Cleveland prides herself on only having missed one annual meeting over the past 38 years. Mrs. Cleveland was recognized for her longstanding commitment to the college which has spanned 40 years - from the time of its charter in 1964 up until today.
