Fayette's Dawson, Martin receive $500 Wesley Foundation grants at Clayton State

Three Clayton State students Josh Dawson of Peachtree City, Molly Martin of Fayetteville, and Sherlene Nelson of Stockbridge, will be presented with Ernest Dunbar Award grants for their involvement in Christian Campus Ministries (CCM), a nondenominational outreach of the United Methodist Church. The students will receive $500 each from the Board of the Wesley Foundation, and will give brief addresses to the Jones Memorial Men's Club, a sponsor of the grants, at Butch's Restaurant in Jonesboro May 27.

Nelson serves CCM as president, Dawson as treasurer, and Martin as activities chair.

The Ernest Dunbar Award is awarded annually on the basis of leadership in CCM, service, and dedication to studies. The $500 grant is sponsored by the United Methodist Wesley Foundation and is funded by the United Methodist Men of Jones Memorial United Methodist Church. Grants are presented by the Board of Directors of the Wesley Foundation.

Though the Wesley Foundation has been active on the Clayton State campus for many years, CCM has been a campus club only since January 2003. For more information on CCM, visit the Clayton State Web site at www.clayton.edu,

Clayton College & State University is a state university of the University System of Georgia, located in Morrow.
