Treasurer

Will Toscani

Sandy and I have been married for 40 years living on Long Island, Mahopac NY, and for the last 8 years here in Connestee. Moving to Connestee has been the best thing that has happened to both of us. I have been in the accounting and finance fields for the past 49 years mostly working with small businesses and non-profits. I have been treasurer of the CFSSP for the past six years and have found it to be a rewarding experience. The dedication of the volunteers is priceless and to see the fruits of our labor in the young kids makes it all worthwhile.

 My husband and I have lived full-time in Connestee Falls for more than seven years, and have been involved with the CF Scholarship Program in various ways each year.  The CF Scholarship Program raises funds through various ways, and in turn, provides monetary support for deserving students in Transylvania County to further their education.   I am proud to be a member of the Board for the CF Scholarship, and look forward to supporting this annual Program.

Board Member

Sarah Hysong

I grew up in Transylvania County and graduated from Brevard High School.  I left the area for college, the start of my career, and then served in the US Peace Corps working with the youth of Moldova.  When I returned to Brevard in 2015 I immediately fell in love with the Connestee Falls Student Scholarship Program and have been involved with it ever since.  I believe supporting the youth of our county and giving them the skills of higher education, they will return one day as I did to give back to their community.  I currently own Connestee Falls Realty and live in Connestee Falls with my husband Ben and our pup Tito.
