The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM, a Dollars for Scholars Chapter, has received a $250.00 contribution from the First Federal Bank of Grinnell.

The First Federal Bank has made contributions to the Foundation for the past nine years.

Miller at 641-522-9206. The Foundation thanks all of you and wants everyone to remember the sooner you get your donation in the more interest that will be raised for the scholarships and the growth of the endowment fund.

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