$1,000 CONTRIBUTION RECEIVED FROM MARTIN MARIETTA AGGREGATES

 

 

            Over the past 7 years Martin Marietta Aggregates thru the Malcom Stone Operations has contributed a total of $7,000 to the Foundation’s Second Chance Scholarship Fund.  This year Martin Marietta Aggregates has sent the Foundation another $1000 contribution.  Martin Marietta Aggregates believes in education and makes many such contributions to educational endeavors.  Since 1959 the Malcom Stone Quarry has provided stone for the surrounding area.

 

            The Second Chance Scholarship Fund’s mission is, “To encourage higher education for those who did not pursue their education directly upon graduation from high school.”

 

            Applications for the Second Chance Scholarship fund are always available, however, applications are only reviewed during a certain time period.  For an application and or guidelines and rules on the Second Chance Scholarship please contact any board member of the Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholar Chapter).

 

            The Foundation wants to thank the Martin Marietta Aggregates and the Malcom Stone Operations for this contribution.  When large companies not directly involved with our communities show this kind of support for education, it is especially meaningful.  The Foundation believes in education and only through your support can it reach its goals.  We appreciate your help.  If you have not yet made a contribution to the Foundation, now might be an excellent time to do so.

 

            Anyone 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
