2nd Half of Grant $

Created on Wednesday, 20 January 2010 Written by Quinn Swanson

Smiles all around!

 

At the January Steering Committee meeting Dan Frank of the Initiative Foundation presented the Greater Pine River Area Healthy Green Communities Partnership the second half of the grant funding. This meant $5,000 more dollars to put towards the task force projects. As you can see we were all very happy to have that money available as the work of each task force jumps forward.
