Grace Tinsley
On Saturday, Jan. 14, over 170 people attended the 6th annual Tinsley Scholarship Bash. The City Dems created this scholarship in 2007 to honor a great community leader and proud Democrat, Grace Tinsley. The scholarships go to Charlottesville High School seniors who reflect some of Grace’s wonderful characteristics. For more on the scholarship, and photos of past scholarship recipients, click here.
