SCHOLARSHIP MONEY RECEIVED FROM GRINNELL GRILS CAMP ASSOC.

The CSF of BGM (a Dollars for Scholars Chapter) recently received a check in the amount of $1,000.00 that was given as two $500.00 scholarships at Awards Night from the Grinnell Girls Camp Association. This year’s recipients were Jamie McDowell who is planning on attending Carlson College of Massage Therapy, and Nicole Reedy who is planning on attending the University of Northern Iowa to study Early Childhood Education. This is the fifth year that the Girls Camp Association has given money toward a scholarship to BGM.

The Grinnell Girls Camp Association sold their camp grounds and the interest off of the proceeds from the sale has been given out to the Citizens Scholarship Foundations of BGM and Grinnell. Since the camp was used by both girls and boys in the Grinnell and Brooklyn area, the Camp Association wanted to give something back to the communities in return. The Camp Association would prefer the money to go to students, male or female, who will be pursuing a career in environmental studies or working with children in any capacity.

The Foundation is grateful to the Grinnell Girls Camp Association for their continued support. Through your contributions and help there is hope for our students.

Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the Foundation please contact Doug King, Board of Trustee representative for the City of Guernsey, or any other board member. You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA 52211.
