CSF OF BGM RECEIVES A CHECK FROM GRINNELL MUTUAL GROUP FOUNDATION

The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholars Chapter) received a check for $250.00 from the Grinnell Mutual Group Foundation. Every year since 1990 the Grinnell Mutual Group Foundation has made a contribution to the Foundation.

Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company, one of the largest Farm Property Reinsurance Companies in the world, supports organizations that champion local causes, promotes education, and charitable organizations. The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM is a worthy cause and the Grinnell Mutual Group Foundation said they were happy to contribute.

The Foundation is grateful to the Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company and all their employees for their generous contributions. The Foundation upholds the idea that education for our students is definitely a worthwhile cause. We all must do our part to help our students become the best they can be.

Your contributions do make a difference. As you build on your contributions and reach the $500.00 amount or higher your name will then be placed on the plaque displayed at the High School. Remember that only the interest is awarded each year for scholarships and your contributions will always stay in the Foundation.

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