DownloadsCindy Lipscomb Scholarship (formerly the DeSoto County Prayer Council Scholarship)
The DeSoto County Prayer Council came together through a vision of two local ministers, Reverend Chester Berryhill, Jr. and Reverend Robert “Chip” Hatcher. Out of the Council came the DeSoto County Prayer Breakfast, an annual event allowing citizens to come together in prayer, focusing on the One who has blessed us and given us so much for which to be thankful, realizing that the gift of faith from God is the greatest gift a people can share. This event is a time of reflection and prayer for international, national, state and local concerns.
Each year at the annual DeSoto County Prayer Breakfast, youth from around the county are recognized and invited to be a part of this event. The Council feels that it is important that our youth participate as we remember the wisdom of the Apostle Paul,” Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus”. (4:6,7).
To recognize an outstanding senior in DeSoto County, the DeSoto County Prayer Council established the DeSoto County Prayer Council Scholarship., now the Cindy Lipscomb Scholarship. The first scholarship was offered in Spring 2007 and continues to be open to all seniors in DeSoto County Schools each year (public, private and home-school). The following instructions will guide you in your preparation of the application.

DownloadsDelta Center Alumni Reunion Scholarship
Delta Center was the former historically African American school in operation from 1959 to 1970.
For eleven graduating classes and former students, Delta Center, despite its paucity, was a respite from weather conditions and “dreams deferred”. It was a haven of personal, spiritual and social uplift; an incubator of ambitious and hopeful dreams; a fortress against a world denying you humanity. Despite the political motives behind its erection, Delta Center became a veritable vortex of preparation and opportunity for the 1500 students whom it served annually. Regardless, at its start, being void of furnishings, library books, lab equipment and other basic expectations, AND being overcrowded throughout its existence – the school created lasting friendships and left indelible imprints upon those who attended, producing graduates whose contributions helped change the United States, and especially the South. All of this was due primarily to those who led and taught there.
Students, staff and families developed a deep pride in the school and its legacy. This initiated and now propels the Delta Center Reunion. The scholarship fund exists as one of the ways to further the mission of the Delta Center Alumni Reunion. That mission is to celebrate, elevate and extend the legacy of Delta Center School, its faculty, staff and students through a scholarship offering.

You probably don’t design your own home, defend yourself in court, or perform surgery on yourself. With a personal matchmaker, you are are allowing a professional agency to guide you, and advocate for you in the most challenging (but also most rewarding) endeavor of all: finding the right life partner.
Professional matchmaking isn’t a “one size fits all” solution. Every client is an individual.
As a first step, we need to learn about you. Who are you? What are you looking for? What do you have to offer?
The most efficient way to get the ball rolling is for you to fill out our online questionnaire and upload some pictures. All of this is confidential.
Catch Matchmaking In Desoto Nj
We will review your information and if we feel we can help you, we will invite you to a free, personal consultation with a matchmaker. (Before, COVID-19, we always preferred in-person meetings, but now we must resort to virtual meetings).
From here on out, the process is different for men and women. Our agency specializes in helping male clients.
Women rarely become active clients. If they are who our clients are looking for, we encourage them to become part of our network and community at no cost to them.
Potential clients will be invited for a complementary first consultation. That’s where we will go over your needs and your odds in detail. And should you want to retain our services as your professional dating representative, we will discuss the various options and our fees.
Catch Matchmaking In Desoto
If you become a client, our team begins by searching our extensive network of potential matches we have already have on file. These are people who have filled out a detailed questionnaire that goes far beyond anything used for online dating.
Speaking of online and app dating profiles – we know that those are more fiction than fact. People write down how they see themselves, not how others perceive them.
As professional matchmakers, we don’t rely on someone’s self assessment. Each person in our database goes through a half-hour interview with one of our team members. This gives us a chance to clarify inconsistencies and verify that the photos are representative.
Once our team has identified potential matches for you, you will be contacted for feedback on them. If you accept, we’ll assist with arranging a first date. Here, our agency functions as the intermediary between you and the match. You don’t have to cold call someone to meet you (we’ll be doing that on your behalf). If needed, we can even give you date counseling and organize dating activities.
Sometimes we cannot find what we are looking for in our existing network. That’s why we are always intensely engaged in meeting new people, making new contacts, cultivating connections and relationships, and liaising with other matchmakers – whether in the United States or abroad. (Our agency even does international searches on behalf of our clients).
Each time you go on a date, we will insist on hearing feedback from both you and the other person. This also takes the embarrassment out of saying “no” to a second date – since we’ll be handling this unpleasant part in a dignified and compassionate manner. Of course, we hope that you both liked each other, and we can set you up for the next date. And hopefully, you’ll get to the point where you can “fire us” because no more matches are needed. You found the one!
Interested in taking your dating to the next level? Whether you are a woman who wants to join our network, or a man looking for professional representation — fill out our confidential questionnaire today!
