$500.00 CONTRIBUTION RECEIVED FROM BROOKYN KIWANIS CLUB

The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholar Chapter) received a check for $500.00 from the Brooklyn Kiwanis Club.

The Brooklyn Kiwanis Club supports many local projects such as the After Prom Party, the outstanding BGM senior each month, Kids Club, the Bi-Annual Blood Drive co-sponsored with TTT’s, the Kiwanis reading program which 3 different people per month read to students in pre-school to 1^st grade, and the Kiwanis senior citizens Christmas dinner. At the end of the school year the Kiwanis will also recognize the outstanding Industrial Arts student at a breakfast and they will receive a recognition award for their achievements. The Kiwanis Club also holds different types of fundraisers, such as the Annual Chicken BBQ and Poinsettia sale in December, which the proceeds received from these fund raisers go towards supporting projects the Kiwanis Club undertakes. Your support or membership is welcomed and always appreciated.

The Brooklyn Kiwanis Club over the years has contributed enough money that they have reached the permanent scholarship level within the foundation. We would like to remind all supporters that it is possible to achieve the permanent scholarship level since your individual donations are kept track of for you.

The foundation is grateful to the Kiwanis Club including all it’s members for their donations and continued support of the foundation over the years, as well as their community involvement.

Anyone or organization wishing to make a donation to the foundation please contact, Ruth Wagner, board of trustee representative for the Brooklyn Kiwanis Club, or any other board member. You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA 52211.

Saying for the week: If everyone is moving forward together, then the success takes care of itself. There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting someone else up. -- Author unkown
