The New Richland Area Foundation Fund made the third of three grant presentations on Friday, May 17 at the newly preserved and remodeled Odd Fellows Building on Broadway Ave. in New Richland.The building will house the New Richland Library.
Those attending the grant presentation were Kermit Schoenrock, Pam Goehring, and Gail Schmidt from the NRAFF Grants Committee; Karen Buum, Executive Administrator of the Waseca Area Foundation; and Barb Wildgrube, a board member of the Historic Preservation Group.
There were two grants awarded:
“Don was an avid reader, so the grants committee felt it would be appropriate for the NRAFF to award this grant in his honor”, said Gail Schmidt, the NRAFF Representative. “His dictionary and some pictures of his life will be on display as well.”
A grant of $2,000 was presented to be used for necessary furnishing in the library.
