Message from the Director:

Our donors and friends accomplish emotional and compelling work through

this Foundation. They are the gears that spin our wheels, the engines that

power good things.

In 2016, over $93,000 was awarded in Foundation scholarships.

Designated and unrestricted grants totaled nearly $200,000, and college

students received loans of over $90,000. Once again, we humbly accepted

donations over $1,000,000, making all of our work possible.

Those numbers are indicative of our members’ love of community and

desire to impact the lives of children, seniors, graduates, veterans,

charitable organizations and initiatives, those who are young and old,

healthy or troubled, blessed or struggling.

Daily, I’m reminded of your remarkable generosity, leadership and support.

My belief in this community-of-giving swells, and your good deeds inspire.

I thank you now and always for your commitment, dedication and passion

to spin your desires into dollars that help our special corner of the world,

and into initiatives that improve lives. Our shared vision unites people,

allowing us to do more good than any of us could ever do alone.

Sincerest thanks for another incredible year,

Carol Hone Evelyn Vian

Executive Director Office Admin.
