New Board Members Join Eagleview Community Foundation

Julie Hemphill and Bev Robertson, both of Max, joined the Eagleview Board last night at our first annual membership meeting. Welcome! Look for more news later about officers and standing committees.

The hottest topic on last night's agenda was the Boys and Girls Club. The Minnesota After School Learning Program Planning Group, consisting of representatives from the Foundation, City, Local Indian Council and Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Youth Division have been negotiating with Boys and Girls Club of the Leech Lake Area to bring a unit to Eagleview. We are very close to an agreement that would help leverage our two year grant from the Minnesota Department of Education into a permanent program at Eagleview for youths aged 6-18, with potential for growth to include pre-school and the 18-21 year olds.Click here to go the Boys and Girls Club site.
