RENE BAZYN MEMORIAL FUND ESTABLISHED

 

 

            The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholar Chapter) received $300.00 to establish a memorial fund in the name of Rene Bazyn.

 

            The memorial money was from the donations sent to his family.  The family felt that by donating to the scholarship foundation it would help provide the opportunity for graduating seniors to continue onto higher education.   Rene had lived most of his life in the Brooklyn area.  His favorite pastimes were fishing with Charlie Arens and playing Rolle Bolle.  

 

            The Foundation would like to thank the family of Rene Bazyn for donating this memorial money to the Scholarship Foundation.  Helping young students should be a concern of everyone.

 

            Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the Foundation, please contact Loren Rickard, Board of Trustee representative for Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, or any other board member.  You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA  52211.
