John Wheeler, Executive Director of USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Lewis County announced that the county committee elections are in progress.

Ballots were mailed to eligible voters and completed ballots must be returned by mail or to local FSA offices by Dec. 3, 2012.

County committee members are elected to office by their peers and serve as the representative voice for agriculture producers in the county, and they are responsible for communicating with USDA to ensure that national programs are adapted to fit local needs.

County committees are responsible for making decisions on issues including commodity loans and payments, conservation programs, disaster assistance programs and emergency programs.

Wheeler encourages minority and female producers to serve as county committee members in the future.

Farmers and ranchers who participate in FSA programs are eligible to vote. If eligible voters do not receive a ballot by mail, one will be provided by the local USDA Service Center. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked no later than Dec. 3, 2012. New county committee members will assume their role and related responsibilities on Jan. 1, 2013.

For more information on county committees, view the FSA website at www.fsa.usda. gov/elections or visit the Lewis County FSA office or call 573767-5274.

Redmon Selected For Advisory Committee Representative Craig Redmon has been handpicked by the Speaker of the House of Representatives to sit on the special Advisory Committee.

This committee has been created to evaluate the effectiveness of other committees in the House of Representatives.

When meeting they will discuss all aspects of other House committees, including the placement of members, the chair and vice-chair, and if the committee is necessary. After discussing these issues, the eleven legislators will report their finding to the Speaker

who will then make decisions based off of the findings. Representative Redmon was very pleased to be selected for this committee, he thinks this is a great opportunity for Northeast Missouri to let their voice be heard in Jefferson City.

Canton City Hall Receives Donations To Help With Community Pride Program

BY RITA COX Reporter

City of Canton employee.

Mr. Stice was raised in Lewistown, served in the Navy in WWII and after returning home from the service settled in Canton.

She remembers her dad, Wilber Wayne Stice of LaBelle taking her to Canton to visit her uncle and he would take them inside the big water building down by the river where they picked up shells from the button factory. She remembers spending his last days with him in the hospital as he suffered from gas poisoning from the sewage. She says she loved her uncle very much and has many pleasant memories and wanted to honor him with a contribution to help paint city hall.

According to Canton City Clerk Cindy Kell, as of last month, the City of Canton has collected $3,360.50 in donations and the City has spent $5,652.10 on stucco repair and painting.

Canton City Hall community pride program, where the City of Canton used donations to paint the city hall, recently received a couple of donations that helped complete the project.

James Cook and his family donated $2,000 towards the project. The Cook home on White Street was destroyed by fire in July and he said he wanted to give something back to the community for the support and generosity that people had shown his family after the fire.

Donna Stice-Gibson of Princeton, Mo., sent $500 to the project in memory of her uncle Ralph (Pete) Stice. Mrs. Gibson wrote that she had saw in The Press-News Journal that the city was asking for donations of money and volunteers to paint city hall. She wanted to donate in memory of her uncle who was a former

Give Thanks for Safe Travels This Holiday The Thanksgiving holiday is usually one of travel and cheer. Unfortunately, it can also be a very dangerous time on Missouri roads. During the 2011 Thanksgiving holiday there were 1372 traffic crashes, and four fatalities on Missouri’s roadways.

Before you head to Thanksgiving dinner, the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety urges you to plan your safe travel ahead of time. With increased traffic and hurried travelers, safety needs to your top priority.

You can make your holiday travel safer by following these tips: ¡Plan your trip. MoDOT has expanded and upgraded its Traveler Information mobile app. This app offers the latest information on Missouri road conditions, work zones, flooding and incidents for iPhones, Androids, iPads and tablets. ¡Buckle Up. The use of safety belts and child restraints is one of the best ways to prevent death and personal injury when involved in a traffic crash. ¡Don’t Drive Distracted. Concentrate only on your driving and pay close attention to motorists around you. ¡Obey the laws of the road. Speeding is a contributing factor of the fatal and personal injury crashes during the holidays.

Southfork Cemetery In response to the Nov. 15 question regarding the cemetery near Deer Ridge on the wildlife area, the name is Southfork Cemetery. My husband’s great-great-great-grandfather, James S. Roberts and other family members are buried there. Nearby was the Southfork Baptist Church. The last time we were there, we found the remains of the foundation for it.

There is some confusion over the name, as it is sometimes called Deer Ridge Cemetery, but Deer Ridge Cemetery is actually in the town of Deer Ridge. There are many Roberts buried in Southfork and in Deer Ridge and surrounding cemeteries.

Adventures of Wonder Mom: I don’t see how her Southern Thanksgiving dinner is all that different than the Northern Thanksgiving dinner that I grew up with or how she would die of starvation (hyperbole perhaps?!) We had/have turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry dressing, sweet potato casserole, plus corn and/or green beans, and of course pumpkin pie! Sometimes there are other desserts such as apple pie if someone is in the mood to make them.

Please tell Wonder Mom the cooking bags for turkeys are wonderful, and she should cover the turkey after it is cut with foil or cling wrap.

COMMUNITY UPDATES America’s Farmers Can Support Local School District With $2,500 Donation Elementary and high schools in 26 states currently receive less state funding in the 2012-13 school year in comparison to last year’s numbers. In 35 states, school funding now stands below 2008 levels, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

But thanks to the generosity of farmers through America’s Farmers Grow CommunitiesSM, $555,000 was donated to schools nationwide in 2012.

For the third consecutive year, America’s Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, will give eligible farmers the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation to direct to their local school or favorite nonprofit organization. With limited resources available, community donations help schools upgrade necessary equipment that contributes to a progressive learning environment.

Last year, 11 farmers directed $27,500 to help improve Missouri education through Grow Communities.

Additionally, the Monsanto Fund invested $2.3 million into education this year through America’s Farmers Grow Rural EducationSM. This program gives farmers the opportunity to nominate a public school district in their community to compete for a grant of either $10,000 or $25,000 to enhance education in the areas of math and/or science.

Now through Nov. 30, 2012, farmers can enter at www.growcommunities. com or by calling 1-877-267-3332.The Monsanto Fund will select one winner at random from each of the eligible counties and announce winning farmers and recipient nonprofits in January

2013.

America’s Farmers Grow Communities and Grow Rural Education highlights the important contributions farmers make every day to our society to help them positively impact their communities. This program is part of the Monsanto Fund’s overall effort to support rural America.

EDITORIAL DVENTURES OF WONDER MOM Breaking tradition, I went over the weekend and spent some time putting up Christmas decorations. I know most people wait until after Thanksgiving to begin doing this, but I love Christmas decorations so much, that I just couldn’t wait. Not to mention, I’d like to have all of my Christmas decorations up before my daughter and I take our trip down South to visit our family.

She has grown so much since they all last saw her in July. It’s almost crazy to look back and think on the differences just a few months has made.

In July, Amaya was talking and walking, but nowhere near as efficiently as she does now. Now, she says, “Hey Mama,” when I come home from work.

She lets us know when she is thirsty by either bringing us her cup or saying the word cup (sometimes a thousand times in a row). I didn’t even realize just how tall she had gotten until we bought her a larger size of “feetie” pajamas. When I held them up to show my husband, I immediately told him, “Surely this isn’t right. Is she really this big?” The pajamas stretched down past my waist!

Not to mention, we’re in the countdown stages now. As of today, we’ve got 36 more days until she turns two and we celebrate the best Christmas present God could’ve ever given us. How in the world has it gone by so fast?! All those times I ignored my parents and other elders when they explained how life flies are now coming back to bite me. Life does fly, and I’m almost certain that it’s faster than the speed of light.

We did spend some time getting Amaya some Christmas presents over the weekend as well. Any-

BARTLETT

one watching us in the store must’ve been laughing because we never seem to know what we’re buying. We search through all the aisles trying to figure out what we think she would like, and end up getting more of what she already has. What do you get a two-year-old? Obviously, we have no idea.

Fortunately, we were able to walk out with a few new things that we really think will tickle her fancy such as a little shopping cart and cash register, plastic food items, and a set of building blocks. We’d also gotten one of those great magnetized drawing boards too, but my husband has never been good at waiting until Christmas to give away gifts so she ended up getting that present early.

My biggest hope is that I will be able to cut snowflakes and hang them from the ceiling by fishing line before Christmas. In my best attempt to think like a child, I feel like it would be magical to walk into the living room, see the Christmas tree all lit up and beautiful, and then look up to see snowflakes hanging above you as though they could fall down onto your nose at any moment. Because for me, that’s what Christmas is- magical.

FAITH

Interfaith Thanksgiving Service at Culver-Stockton The approaching holiday season presents a wonderful time to learn about the different faiths of the world. C-SC Students and community members gathered in the Merillat Recital hall to give thanks in the annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Assembly held Nov. 13.

Multiple religious perspectives were offered, with speakers of Jewis, Shinto, Muslim, and Christian backgrounds giving an explanation of what Thanksgiving means within their faiths.

The new Chaplain for Culver-Stockton, Amanda Sorenson, gave the welcome and Invocation for the Assembly. Sorenson is a student at the Lexington Theological Seminary, studying to become a minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Sorenson discussed the traditions of Thanksgiving within the Christian Church, and their significance to the religion, including the importance of regular gathering and offering praise.

Dr. Daniel Silber, dean of the college and vice president for academic affairs, spoke of the two spiritual traditions in his home, Judaism and Shintoism. Silber was born into Judaism and his wife, Karen, is a practicing Shinto. Silber’s message focused on the common

ground between the two religions. The Japanese word Shinto translates to “the way of the Gods” and has many similarities with Judaism.

Dr. Mohamed El-Bermawy, professor of chemistry and biology at C-SC, spoke of what Thanksgiving meant to the Islamic faith. He explained the five pillars of Islam and how the idea of being grateful is an important facet of the religion. One example he gave was the fourth pillar, fasting for the month of Ramadan.

The audience was invited to write something they were thankful for on a paper leaf to hand on the Thanksgiving Tree. The tree will be displayed in the Gladys Crown Center on the C-SC campus for the rest of the week. The assembly was also accompanied by traditional organ music, played by Dr. Carol Mathieson.

Students, Mya Canty and Jr Henderson, also took part in the service. Canty led the Call to Worship and Henderson said the Thanksgiving Prayer.

Culver-Stockton is an affiliation with the Disciples of Christ Church, but welcomes students of all faiths and persuasions.

LEWIS COUNTY HISTORY

BACKWARD GLANCES From the pages of early Lewis County newspapers 25 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Oct. 28, 1987 The Robert and Nancy Goehl family of rural Lewistown have been named Quincy Area Chamber of Commerce Farm Family of the Year.

They have been farming since 1968 when Bob’s parents retired from farming and Bob and Nancy purchased his parents farm. Goehl experimented with no-till practices when it was something new and has settled on minimum till practice.

Three years ago, he started farming some ground about 800 acres of which was gutted, had no water ways, and had a soil loss of three ton. With the help of the landlord and the Soil Conservation, they are making yearly improvements on the farm and have cut down on erosion considerably.

45 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Oct. 26, 1967 Five Canton residents will be appearing in Culver-Stockton College’s presentation of Carousel.

They are Gael Cooper, Pat Russell, Diane Baily, Jan Hartmann and Phil Ahren.

Mrs. Mary Barron of LaGrange retired Oct. 27 after completing more than 25 years of service with Gardner-Denver Company. She worked as a core maker for all 25 years of her employment.

50 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Oct. 25, 1962 Funeral services for Dr. W.L. Ellery, well known LaGrange physician, were held Oct. 23 in the LaGrange Baptist church. Williams Linton Ellery, the son of Dr. William E. and Cora Estelle Snapp Ellery was born at Lagrange on Sept.

22, 1883. He graduated from the LaGrange pub-

lic schools and attended the University of Missouri before entering the Washington University Medical School. He was the third generation of his family to practice medicine in LaGrange.

His grandfather started practice in LaGrange in 1845 and his father was a LaGrange physician for 57 years. In 1956, the LaGrange Chamber of commerce celebrated his 50th ear of service with a Dr. Ellery Day. The occasion also marked the 111th year that members of his family had practiced medicine in LaGrange.

75 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Oct. 29, 1937 James Griffin, oldest citizen of Canton and last Union soldier in Lewis County, died at his home in Canton Oct. 30, aged 97 years. Mr. Griffin enlisted in the regular Army company K, 21st Missouri Regiment, Infantry Volunteers, He served throughout the Civil War, not having mustered out until 1866. During these long, terrible years, Mr. Griffin engaged in many battles for his country among which were the two terrible days at Nashville, Tenn., and the siege and assault of Ft. Blakely.

Friday afternoon the Lewis County Social Security Commission met for its first advisory meeting with J.R. Lunes, district supervisor, and Miss Roberta Bastic, secretary director. The commission is composed of Thomas I. Johnson, Monticello, W. A. Mussetter of LaGrange, Mrs. Lelia Miller of Williamstown and Mrs. Stella Legg of Monticello as members.

Otto Bruner Post of the American Legion held its first “Family Supper” at the Eagles Hall with over 70 members and guests present. After supper Commander Fred Howell

explained that the purpose of the meeting was to form a Women’s Auxiliary of the Legion. After the program, the men withdrew and the women perfected their organization. Mrs. E.F. Arnold of Lewistown was named temporary chairman and assisted by Mrs. T.F. Bailey of Lewistown and Mrs. Edwards of LaBelle explained the purpose and manner of the organization, Mrs. George Dobson was elected president; Mrs. C.C. Spratt, first vice president; Mrs. Harry Ward, second vice president; Mrs. Lawrence Barth, treasurer; Mrs. J. Hudson Durkee, historian; Mrs. Lee Schlager, chaplain; and Mrs. Fred Howell, sergeant-atarms. The auxiliary starts off with 14 members.

The Lewis County Journal Oct. 27, 1927 The Chamber of Commerce at Canton has been given rooms in the City Hall building and the place is being redecorated for use. Heretofore the chamber has met with the different merchants who could make room for the attendance and the new rooms are warmly welcomed by the officers of that hustling organization.

One of the social events of the Halloween season was the Halloween birthday party given at the Eastern Star Hall Monday evening for the Stars and their husbands.

95 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal Oct. 27, 1917 Edward Morris, about 75 years old, for many years one of the leading merchants and businessmen of Lewis County, died at his home in Baltimore, Md., Oct. 27. Mr Morris came to Monticello in 1868 and engaged in the mercantile business

and continued in business until 1984 when he moved to LaBelle and engaged in the same business. By carrying a tremendous stock of general merchandise at all times and by courteous treatment he built up an exceptionally good business and he accumulated a small fortune while here.

He came here and began business with about $900 in cash. He was said to be worth $35,000 when he left here 26 years later.

After being in business in LaBelle for a number of years, he moved to Quincy. Later he moved east, finally settling in Baltimore, where he was engaged in the manufacturing business at the time of his death. His oldest son, Moses, has been in active charge of the business for some time.

We have begun to fight. After many months of preparation the first shots from American guns have been fired at he enemy on land. Our boys are in the trenches. At last we are taking our place beside the British and the French, to add to the forces arrayed against the common enemy.

105 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal Oct. 27, 1907 N.F. Hagood, who has been in the hotel business in Cannon City, Tex., for the past year, recently sold out his business and with his wife returned to his home in this city. LaGrange Indicator.

Rev. V.D. Skipper, the new pastor of the McKendree Methodist Church, Canton, is winning golden opinions from his people and all who hear his eloquent sermons. He is a transfer from the South and carries every mark of a true southern orator, argument, illustration, pathos and rhetoric of a high order.

BUY LEWIS COUNTY LaGrange Couple Celebrates The True Meaning Of Christmas

ANTIQUES AND MORE Antiques and More, located at 307 N. Main Street in LaGrange, Mo., is owned by Don and Sharon Sherwood and has the usual and unusual collection of inventory that a person would most likely find in a business that sells antiques. But during the Christmas season, the store provides a place for children to have the joy of giving.

Each Christmas, the main floor of the shop is full of donated and purchased items that are available for children to buy at a small token price.

Most of the merchandise is priced between five and fifty cents. The Sherwood’s provide children who otherwise might not be able to give a loved one a gift, a place to come and buy gifts for their family. The Sherwoods said watching the excitement in a child’s face is rewarding, but equally fulfilling are the adults who are so grateful for the opportunity to take their child shopping. For many, this will be their only Christmas outing. The Sherwood’s have been providing this service to children for many years and are able

to continue with the generosity of businesses and individuals who donate to help with this seasonal event. The couple, along with family members, work on this project all year long.

Antiques and More opened in 1999. The business occupies an historic home built in the 1830s.

The house overlooks the Mississippi River and was used as a place for escaping slaves to hide, before they went to the river and floated downriver on a log to get to the Eels House in Quincy. According to a web site about the Eels house, Dr. Richard Eels House was the first Underground Railroad station across the border of Missouri.

Don Sherwood said the secret room where slaves hid was 18 inches wide and six foot long, and was removed when the house was remodeled. There was also a tunnel running underground and to the river. The tunnel collapsed years ago. The widow’s walk feature of the house, was where the women of the house could do their knitting or vegetable peeling and observe the river

to let people know when a steamship was coming or to let them know their soldier was returning home.

The Sherwoods bought the home and thought an antique store would be a suitable business for the old house. They had always been interested and collected antiques. They fill their store with items found at estate and specialty sales and they also take consignments. They enjoy meeting all the people who come into their antique shop. Sherwood said his business, like most other antique shops, relies heavily on the tourist trade. Antiques, collectibles, history items and

other interesting things can be found at Antiques and More.

The Shewoods are very active in their community.

They were named LaGrange Outstanding Citizens in 2011. Mrs. Sherwood teaches part time for the Lewis County C-1 School district and Mr. Sherwood is a pastor at Good Hope Church in Kahoka. He has been pastor at several churches over the years.

Antiques and More Christmas hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and Sundays 1 to 4:30 p.m.

ELMA MAUDE KILLEBREW Elma Maude Killebrew, 91, of Durham, Mo., passed away Monday, Nov. 12, 2012 in LaBelle Manor Care Center in LaBelle.

She was born Oct. 23, 1921, in Gas, Kansas, a daughter of Elmer Eldridge Wood and Winnie Maye (Edmister) Wood.

She married Wayne Stanley Killebrew on Feb. 7, 1942 in West Plains, Mo. They had a son, Darrel, born in 1947, who survives.

Mrs. Killebrew leaves behind a rich life in experiences and memories for an even richer one up yonder.

Elma “Maude” grew up on a farm outside of Brandsville, Mo. Following the death of her beloved father in 1931, she moved with her mother to West Plains, Mo. Eventually, she opened and operated a popular restaurant in West Plains with her mother for many years.

She moved to Durham, Mo., in 1949 following the birth of her son two years earlier. Soon afterwards, she gained employment at Sears Roebuck & Company, retiring from there in 1984. She initially worked in the Sears Store on Maine St. in Quincy, where she was the first woman ever to work in the hardware department.

She later retired as the Parts Manager at the Service Department on North 24th in Quincy.

Aside from her work history, she had several activities and hobbies she excelled at and enjoyed. She was an avid gardener of flowers and vegetables with her late husband. She was very skilled in the art of canning and was such a wonderful cook. She loved making quilts with her late husband and looked forward to her annual two-week trips out West that she took each year with her family. She also adored cats.

Above all she was a devoted and faithful wife, mother and grandmother, who loved all children. She was known as a very kind and persistent person who forgave easily.

She is survived by a son, Dr. Darrel Killebrew and his wife, Delores, of Phoenix, Ariz., three grandchildren, Michael Killebrew of Durham, Tanya Killebrew of Phoenix, and Suzanne Killebrew of Phoenix; six great-grandchildren, Anya Sue Killebrew, daughter of Suzanne Killebrew, Darah and Ashlynn Larson, daughters of Tanya Killebrew, Nathaniel, Cana, and Carmela Killebrew, children of Michael Killebrew; two nephews, Norm and Kevin Killebrew of Texas; and multiple grand-nieces, grand-nephews and cousins.

She was proceeded in death by her husband, her parents; a brother, James Lewis Wood, a sister Virginia Elizabeth Wood; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Services were held Friday in the Ball-Davis Funeral Home in Ewing, Mo., with Rev. Elmer Hagood officiating. Burial was in Durham Cemetery.

Pallbearers: Michael Killebrew, Darrel Killebrew, Suzanne Killebrew, Mark Elsner, Ronnie Pierce and Andrew Crandall.

The theme of the party was A Movie Ceremony Awards Dinner with the Volunteers as stars and there were lots of stars out, Mary had to wear sun glasses they were shining so bright with over 60 volunteers and guests in attendants. The evening was started by giving their autograph then walking down the red carpet, escorts were the Great Grandchildren of Betty Fifer, and servers for the evening were Children and grandchildren of the nutrition staff.

Mary Miller welcomed the Volunteers and their guests with a brief history of the Meals on Wheels Program and shown how much the volunteers are worth in the private sector, which was a staging figure.

How important they are to the community delivering meals. The program could not run effective without Volunteers. A delicious dinner of roast beef, baked potato, green beans, salad and a fruit parfait prepared by our own nutrition staff, was served.

Phyllis Smith, Nutrition Manager, introduced her Centers Managers and they in turn gave out Certificates of Appreciation to volunteers. Those present from LaGrange were Donna Johns, Center Manager, Phyllis Merrell, Kathy Meyers, and Andy Baumann, and unable to attend were Donald Weathers, Elsie Sherwood, and Loretta Powers.

COMMUNITY NEWS LaGrange News

By Myrna Hoteling

With Veterans Day Sunday I recalled Nellie Frayer Clark who was a WAC in World War 2 and served as a staff sergeant, receiving the medal for Bravery Under Fire from the US 5th Army in Italy.

She lived several years in La Grange and I wish I had heard some of her war stories. Thanks to all those who have served.

Nancy Howe of the La Grange Garden Club spent Sunday through Thursday at Jefferson City attending the FGCM Fall Board Meeting. It was well attended and on Monday evening a holiday party was held and Christmas gifts and cards exchanged.

Vicki Stiffey was proud to learn her sister, Janet Hammons Okruch was chosen teacher of the year in her school. Janet, her husband, Vince, and son Jordan live in Copley, Ohio and daughter Taylor resides in Texas. Vicki’s brother,Kenny Ray Hammons celebrated a birthday Nov. 15.

Curtis Farr was a visitor at Sunset Home where he called on Jim and Mary Ann Weisenborn and Patty Waterman. He also

visited Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bunfoil of La Grange.

Community Foundation’s Philanthropic Matching Funds Offered to 13 Counties Guests attending the Community Foundation’s Friends of Philanthropy Celebration on November 15 were in for a surprise. Instead of the usual ‘touting of accomplishments’ that organizations do for their donors, the Community Foundation stepped aside to put the spotlight on others.

Pike County Illinois residents shared their story about how their concerns over assets that had left their county motivated them to act. They knew those assets would not return and had talked about how to stem further outflow.

They decided they could not stand by any longer. They considered options.

Jim Gay and Don Kirk explained how they had approached their Community Foundation and proposed building an endowment for Pike County. A ‘pilot’ program began. A group of residents sought donations to establish the Pike County Endowment Fund to support charitable needs and opportunities in the county.

Through determination, hard work and support from individuals and businesses, they met the $15,000 needed to endow the fund. On November 15, they announced that the fund has grown to the point where it will begin the next step—grantmaking.

Brian Ippensen, chair of the Community Foundation’s Board of Directors, stepped forward. He noted that Pike

County’s Fund Council was sharing its story on National Philanthropy Day. He announced that the Community Foundation was extending a gift opportunity to promote community-based philanthropy and ensure permanent resources exist throughout the region.

Each of the 13 counties in the organization’s service area that builds its own endowment can get up to $15,000 in matching funds from the Community Foundation, Ippensen stated.

Residents who come together to build their county endowment, as Pike County has done, will appreciate the benefits provided by having charitable resources in their county—forever. As with Pike County, each county will form its own Fund Council, comprised of county residents who will be responsible for guiding fundraising and grantmaking efforts. In addition to the matching funds, the Community Foundation will offer its charitable status, not-for-profit expertise, investment experience and grant distribution services.

“Many tri-state area residents have deep roots in their communities, often spanning several generations.

Building permanent funds that will provide grants for charitable needs and opportunities now and for future generations appeals to our sense of community,” said Jill Arnold Blickhan, Community Foundation Executive

Director.

A brief outline of the initiative follows: The Community Foundation is offering a match to counties in its geographic service area that establish their own endowments. Eligible counties in Illinois: Adams, Brown, Hancock and Pike. Missouri: Clark, Lewis, Marion, Ralls, Pike, Knox, Shelby and Monroe It will begin by working with up to four (4) counties matching up to a total of $15,000 for each county as follows, $13,500 for fund principal $1,500 to grant. To be considered for the match, a county must: Submit its Notification of Intent to Participate (Contact the Community Foundation for the intent document.) Hold meeting(s) with county residents to familiarize them with this program. Establish its County Fund Council.

Submit its Fundraising Plan. Work with the Community Foundation for promotion and fundraising guidance.

Each county’s receipt of the match is contingent upon the above plus: Raising $15,000 by November 1, 2015 Establishing grantmaking procedures in compliance with the Community Foundation’s policies. Identifying areas for possible leadership and sustainability.

For details contact the Community Foundation at 217-222-1237, execdir@mycommunityfoundation.org or www.mycommunityfoundation.org.

We would like to thank the Baptist and Christian Churches, pallbearers, Davis Funeral Home and everyone for the cards, calls, prayers, memorials, flowers, food and other acts of kindness shown to our family.

Everything was deeply appreciated.

We wish to thank all of you who have called, made visits, sent cards, brought food and just been there for us when we needed you.

May our Lord richly bless each and every one of you.

Special S pecial thanks for the prayers and wishes for Jessica Fountain.

Thanks to all who attended and donated for the benefit.
