The Foundation of Bear Lake Committee
met on May 9th, 2015 to begin the process of creating an endowment
fund to provide public land and facilities for immediate and future use of Bear
Lake, specifically land adjacent to the lake and trail access
lands.
This venue will give people the tools
they need to harness local wealth for charitable giving, and support
decision-making at the local level.
After much discussion we decided to
name our new organization –The Foundation of Bear Lake with a domain name of
Give Bear Lake.
The committee under the direction of Garden City Councilwoman, Bess Huefner, has checked the Park City
Foundation and the Jackson Hole Community Fund to help in setting up this
foundation.
Bess Huefner will serve as Executive
Chair for 2015. Bruce Warner will serve as our finance clerk. Merlin Goekerwitz
has volunteered to serve on the committee. Joe Stocking will advise us on the
media pages.
Bear Lake Watch will help with their
expertise and counseling. Mitch Poulsen will advise us as to how to work between
the counties in Idaho and Utah.
The committee will be looking for help in
contacting donors and looking for others who might have suggestions to help in
this fledgling organization.
