BRALEY SCHOLARSHIP ESTABLISHED WITHIN CSF

The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholars Chapter) received a check from Marcia Braley which established a permanent scholarship in honor of Marcia and Byard Braley.

Marcia had made a comment that she had spent 30 years in education, with 27 years of teaching within the BGM school district, that she felt it was a high priority to her to make a donation to the scholarship foundation. Marcia has been active on the Board of Trustees for the foundation for many years and has had all 4 of her children and 2 grandchildren graduate from BGM. Marcia just wanted to help other students to continue onto some form of higher education whether it was for a 2 year or 4 year school. Any further education that a student can receive is beneficial.

The foundation is grateful to Marcia and her family for their generous donation and her continued support on the board of trustees.

If you would like to make a contribution to the Foundation please contact Marty Kolars, Board of Trustee representative for the Malcom Ruritan, or any other board member. You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA 52211.
