BARB’S DESIGNS CONTRIBUTES TO PRESCHOOL FUND

The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholars Chapter) received a $500 contribution from Barb’s Designs designated for the Preschool Scholarship Fund.

Barb’s Designs recently held a Home Interior Fundraiser to help benefit the preschool fund. The fundraiser that was held is another fine example of how a business or community can raise money. The contribution that CSF of BGM received will assist the needs of preschool age children now and in generations to come. In a letter received from Barb’s Designs with their check they stated that as a team Barb’s Designs and Home Interiors believes part of the education process begins in the home and by working together we are “Decorating Lives Together.”

The Foundation is grateful to Barb’s Designs and Home Interiors for their support of the preschool fund. With your help and encouragement all of our students wishing a higher education will be helped and challenged to be the best they can be. Please take the time to look over the annual report and appeal letter that you should have received a few weeks ago. If you did not receive one please contact the foundation at the address mentioned below.

Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the preschool scholarship fund or any of the other endowment funds within the Foundation may contact Dale Douglas, Board of Trustee representative for the Malcom Businesses, or any other board member. You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA 52211.
