A Message from Ted Baseler, President of Chateau Ste. Michelle

We are grateful to you for understanding the vital importance of education to the success of our state's young people.

Your support of the 2008 Chateau Ste. Michelle Diversity Scholarship Fund is an investment in the future of men and women striving to improve their lives with a university education.

At Chateau Ste. Michelle, we are committed to the belief that diversity is key to our success as a business. We also believe that an educated workforce is critical to the success of our American society. Unfortunately, higher education is often inaccessible to the families of underrepresented minority students. These deserving individuals should not be denied the opportunities for learning and discovery that are available in a university setting.

Your generous contributions to the Chateau Ste. Michelle Diversity Scholarship Fund will help to ensure that educational opportunity and the means to a better future are available to all, including those who lack the financial resources.

At this year's dinner the highlight once again will be stirring speeches by some of the recipients of these scholorships. They are talented, high-achieving students who remind us all why this is such a worthy endeavor. Here is just one testimonial:

"I am honored to be a recipient of the Chateau Ste. Michelle Diversity scholarship award. It has not only changed my financial situation but has allowed me to attend college without incurring the debt that comes with student loans. Receiving this scholarship has encouraged me to do well in my classes, and look forward to being able to give back to the community when I begin my career. Thank you for your willingness and confidence to help me achieve my goals." -Gabriel Rubio

Chateau Ste. Michelle Diversity Scholars are enormously appreciative of the opportunities you make possible through your support. In providing the means for these high-achieving students to continue their education, you help to prepare them for successful lives as community leaders and informed citizens, a gift they will repay many times over through their future contributions to our society.

Thank you for your wonderful support.

Ted Baseler
