Over the years, Bill and Cindy Keller have given much to the St Francis Community, and this event was an opportunity to honor their generosity, and highlight many of the local projects they helped fund. And many of the organizations present used this opportunity to thank them personally. From the lighting and grandstands at the fairgrounds, to the scoreboard at the High School, to funding new projects at the Library, and covering printing costs for flyers at the CCDC. Bill and Cindy's donations have helped many in the community and during Bill's speech, he spoke about growing up in this community, and how he was raised, instilled with a passion for giving to those around him who needed help. Bill also spoke about the nature of giving, and how each of us already give, and should give more to our neighbors. Don't find excuses not to give, instead find reasons to give, and in the end, you will receive more than you ever gave.
The St Francis Community Foundation handed out checks to the organizations who were awarded grant money this year. For who and how much, picture #2 has the list, or you can go to the SFCF website for more details: http://sfcommunityfoundation.org/
Everyone seemed to have a great time and enjoyed the meal.
