MANATT’S INC MUNCHERS CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE CSF OF BGM

The Foundation has received a check for $400.00 from the Manatt’s Inc. Munchies Fund.

The munchies are snack products available for Manatt’s Inc employees to purchase during working hours. For eight years the proceeds from the munchies have been distributed to After Prom Party, other school and community related activities, as well as contributing a scholarship to the Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM. Deb White coordinates the munchies at Manatt’s Inc.

The CSF of BGM (a Dollars for Scholar Chapter) has become nationally known for its help to our students. Scholarships are only the starting point in supporting our students. The Foundation must continue grow to be able to help our students not only get to higher education but to also keep them there until graduation. The Foundation is a great tool for all of us to help our students and our communities.

The Foundation needs everyone to contribute, not only the continued support of those who have in the past, but also each year the Foundation needs additional new people to help support our students. Your $5.00 and $10.00 contributions do add up and do make a difference. Remember the Foundation does not spend your money but rather invests is for the future. Your contributions go into an endowment fund. Just the interest earned is awarded each May as scholarships.

The sooner you make your contribution the larger the interest will grow for the scholarships. This is the reason the Manatt’s Munchies contribute early every year.

The Foundation would like to thank the munchers at Manatt’s Inc. for their continued support of the Foundation, and Deb White for all her work.

Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the Foundation please contact, Mrs. Jan (Ron) Read, CSF of BGM Board of Trustee representative for the BGM School Board, or any other Board member. You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, Iowa 52211.

Saying for the week: Don't dream up thousands of reasons why you can't do what you want to; find one reason why you can.
