POWESHIEK BANK CONTINUES TO SUPPORT CSF OF BGM

The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholars Chapter) received a check for $500.00 from the Poweshiek Bank.

Mr. Jack Arendt, President of the Poweshiek Bank, felt that the bank had an integral part in establishing the scholarship with the original matching funds contribution, and they still wanted to continue to give their support. Growth is necessary for anything to continue to succeed, and they wanted to continue to be involved with the growth of the Foundation now and in the future.

The Foundation is grateful to the Poweshiek Bank and it’s employees for their continued support and contribution. Their support has shown pride in the community, and the Foundation is a community project.

All contributions help in making the Foundation grow. Your $5.00 and $10.00 contributions do add up. Each year it is our hope that everyone will continue their support and a few new contributors will help out as well. The Foundation is a community project everyone can be proud of. You have come together to help our graduating seniors to pursue higher education with a scholarship.

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