This morning we confirmed that one of our fund holders will be making a short presentation about her fund and the impact she is making as a result. It's a great story and we KNOW you don't want to miss it!
This event is open to all of our friends -- you don't have to be a "donor" or "partner" to attend. And due to the generosity of our sponsors, tickets are free, so please come!!
"Thank You" to our Sponsors Balasa, Dinverno, & Foltz Chamlin & Associates Donico, Inc. Edward Jones - Kristi Bennington Grundy Bank Senator Sue Rezin Big R Stores Mazon State Bank
