Bestselling Christian author Susan Yates was the guest speaker at Samford University’s Legacy League Scholarship Luncheon at Vestavia Country Club on Feb. 9. The event chairwoman was Cindy Anderson. Legacy League Executive Director Julie Taylor spoke on the topic Changing Lives Through Scholarships and Diane Eggert, vice president for student support, introduced a scholarship recipient. After an introduction by Legacy League past President Harriet Williams, Yates spoke on the message, “Discovering an Infinite, Intimate God.” Attendees also made bids during the silent auction that featured items donated by more than 40 contributors. A new scholarship given by Ron and Cindy Mims in memory of their son also was announced. Proceeds from the luncheon and Casual Supper and Table Talk event later that same day will be used to provide scholarships to students with significant financial need and challenging circumstances. ❖
