Bonnie Jernigan was a dedicated AFS volunteer in the Greater Duxbury Chapter of the Mass Bay AFS Area Team, bringing an energy and enthusiasm that helped spread the AFS presence beyond Duxbury and into other local communities. Sadly, she lost her life to brain cancer in December 2013. Bonnie’s adventurous spirit lives on through her family’s generous creation of this scholarship.
