            The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholar Chapter) received a contribution from the Brooklyn Masonic Lodge that places them at the permanent scholarship level of a contribution of $2500.00 or more.

 

            The masons are a group of men in the community who formed an organization to support charitable activities locally and statewide.  There are 50 members within the Brooklyn and Victor area and have been in existence since 1865.  They meet on the 1st Wednesday of every month. 

 

            The Brooklyn Masonic Lodge believes in education plus they help others who are in need both locally and statewide.  The foundation is thankful for the donation and to the members of the Masonic Lodge who continue to support our children trying to continue on to higher education.

 

            Through your contributions and help there is hope for our students.  You can help in making a difference for our students in the years to come.

 

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