Announcing the Creation of the Settle Community Scholarship (Press Release)

Settle Heating and Air and the Cleveland County Schools Foundation are proud to announce the creation of the annual Settle Community Scholarship to benefit all four Cleveland County high schools.

David and Cindy Settle, owners of Settle Heating and Air, have been providing service to the greater Cleveland County area since 1998. This is just another example of their support for
the area.

With the scholarship, 2% of all heating and air replacement unit sold by Settle Heating and Air in Cleveland County will go towards the scholarship. Persons purchasing the unit will be able to designate which high school they would like the donation to go towards, though if no high school is selected the funds will be evenly divided between the four.

The first annual scholarship will be awarded in May 2010 and Settle has guaranteed a minimum of $500 to every high school. Beginning in May 2009 all sales in Cleveland County will go to the fund.

For more information, visit the Settle Heating and Air booth at any Alive After Five events this summer. You can also visit their website at www.SettleInWithComfort.com or call them at
704-481-1788.

David and Cindy Settle are extremely proud of all the students in Cleveland County and cannot wait to award the first recipients of the Settle Community Scholarship.
