March 19, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street  – “Give Grandly”

Bernadette Smyth from the Grant County Community Foundation will talk about Give Grandly, the county’s annual non-profit fundraising day.

This year, Give Grandly will occur on Saturday, May 6. Smyth will also talk about civic engagement and the common good it provides for our community.
