We are especially proud to report that we reached our 5-year goal of raising $1 million to endow the Founders Scholarship Fund. All high school graduates of Mackinac Island, who apply and meet the scholarship requirements, will receive $2,000 for four years. We look forward to 2015. Our Board has been setting goals for this year and beyond. In addition to the numerous grants that you will see highlighted in this report, we will be funding First Aid and CPR/AED classes, giving grants for the removal of Norway maple debris from the city and private properties, and working on a program to set up college savings plans for children on the Island. Your gifts have made these grants and programs possible.
