The district voted to donate $ 2,000.00 to the FGCM Scholarship Fund in their names.
We also have started a new program for our clubs. They will each get up to $ 200.00 for a project done by their club. It can be anything but it must be approved by the Executive Board.
We hope they will work with other clubs or other originations to make a difference in their area. Our next meeting will be November 13, 2010 in Warrensburg.
