MANATT FAMILY FOUNDATION GIVES TO BGM CSF

 

 

 

            The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholars Chapter) has received a donation from the G J “Junie” Manatt Family Foundation, in the amount of $1000.00

 

            This is the 2nd year that the family has gotten together in December to decide on which groups to make a contribution to in Junie’s name.  This will be a yearly donation to be determined by the family and only the interest will be given out each year of the money that has been set aside by Junie.  The family feels that this will be a fun get together every year to decide which organizations will receive the funds.  Since Junie had always given to the BGM Scholarship Foundation the family wanted to continue that tradition with their donation.

 

            The Foundation is grateful to the family of Junie Manatt for their contribution.  This contribution will always be a part of the Foundation and will help to encourage all our graduates to continue their education.

 

            Anyone or organization wishing to make a donation to the Foundation please contact Lyle Oswood, Board of Trustee representative for the BGM Education Association, or any other board member.  You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA  52211.
