Letter: Special thanks from BCCF Annual Report organizers

To the editor:

The Brown County Community Foundation (BCCF) would like to thank the Brown County History Center for sharing their wonderful new community room for our Annual Report to the Community on June 21. The event was enjoyed by over 175 enthusiastic BCCF supporters. We express a special thank-you to Bob Shook for locating every available table and chair in the History Center in an effort to accommodate all of the 175 guests. We congratulate the competitive grant and other annual award winners acknowledged that evening, including the 2018 John D. Rudd Award winner, Ruth Reichmann.

We also thank Kevin Ault for his wonderful catering service for the event. When the crowds grew beyond expectation, Kevin went above and beyond and somehow kept plenty of good food available for the guests. We were very happy with the festive nature this year’s Annual Report and we know we could not have delivered such a wonderful event without the generous and unselfish service of Bob Shook and Kevin Ault. The most important part of our name is community, and we thank these two members of the community as well as all of our stakeholders for your support of the Brown County Community Foundation.

Sincerely,

Larry Pejeau, CEO, Brown County Community Foundation
