AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY DONATES TO PRESCHOOL FUND

The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholars Chapter) received a check from the American Legion Auxiliary, Davis-Story Post No 733 in Malcom for $200.00 designated for the preschool fund.

The American Legion Auxiliary in the past has also contributed to the regular endowment fund. Their contribution this year to the preschool fund will help increase the endowment fund towards the $100,000 goal that the Foundation has set.

The Foundation is grateful to the American Legion Auxiliary Davis-Story Post No 733 for their donation. The goal of CSF is to raise an endowment fund for preschool of $100,000 over the next three years that will earn 5% interest, bringing $5,000 per year available money to fund the preschool scholarships. To accomplish this goal we will need everyone’s assistance to get the endowment fund established.

Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the preschool scholarship fund or any of the other endowment funds within the Foundation may contact Dale Douglas, Board of Trustee representative for the Malcom Businesses, or any other board member. You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA 52211.
