MANATTS INC MUNCHERS CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE CSF OF BGM

The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholars Chapter) received a check for $400.00 from the Manats Inc Munchies Fund.

The munchies are snack products available for Manatts Inc employees to purchase during work hours. For eleven years the proceeds from the munchies have been distributed to other school and community related activities, as well as contributing a scholarship to the Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM. Deb White coordinates the munchies at Manatts Inc.

CSF of BGM is nationally known for its help to our students. Scholarships are only the starting point in supporting our students. The Foundation must continue to grow to be able to help our students not only get to higher education, but to also keep them there until graduation. The Foundation is a great tool for all of us to help our students and our communities.

The Foundation would like to express their gratitude to all the munchers at Manatts Inc for their continued support of the Foundation, and Deb White for all her work. The Foundation needs everyone to continue contributing to continue the success of giving scholarships to our students and the sooner you make your contribution the larger the interest will grow for the scholarships. This is the reason the Manatts Munchies contribute early every year.

Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the Foundation please contact Rick Puls, CSF of BGM Board Trustee for the Malcom Alumni Association, or any other board member. You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA 52211.
