GARDEN CITY Residents and Fans are invited to a planning
meeting for creating a foundation for Garden City/Bear Lake. This foundation will have a threefold
design: buying some beach front land to use as parks for the future; continuing
the bike path and improving trails; and providing grants for eligible applicants
who are making a difference in our community.
The meeting will be held May 9th
at 6:00 PM at the Garden City Offices at 69 So. 3rd
West.
Mayor John Spuhler brought some information
from his meetings about “The Nebraska Community” foundation and thought that we
might follow this guideline. Nebcommfound.org is their website.
We have many challenges in our area, but
a foundation invites everyone who loves Bear Lake to help make a financial
investment strategy to create a community legacy.
It will take $500.00 in upfront money to
register our 501-C3 with the State of Utah so bring your $20.00 tax deductible
contribution to get the Foundation on its feet.
We will also accept volunteers to help
us this first year. The Foundation will need a Board of Directors, (who are not
paid), a President, and Secretary. Council woman Bess Huefner will serve as Executive Chair this year so
the paperwork will have an official place.
