From the Foundation

From the Foundation:



We want to thank all of you who have contributed to the Emily Griffith Foundation this year. For those who have not yet had the opportunity, we would greatly appreciate your consideration in any amount as you make your year-end, tax-deductible donations to your favorite charities. We are just a little short of the amount needed to get a challenge grant from the Gates Foundation for a number of renovation projects for the school that include remodeling restrooms, re-keying locks, patching the alley and parking lot, and remodeling a portion of the Success Center.



As you can see from the newsletter in your mailboxes, it’s been a good year for us to date. We look forward to working with all of you.
