Fund-raising efforts continue to keep religious education program running

The sponsors of the "By the Book" weekday religious education program say they are encouraged by the response to their appeal for funds from individuals and churches.

More funds are still needed, though, to underwrite next school year's proposed budget of $54,000. The sponsors have announced a three-prong effort in attempt to keep contributions flowing.

First, an anonymous donor will match up to $7,000 of donations given from June 1 through Aug. 31. Checks may be sent to The Associated Churches of Huntington County, PO Box 344, Huntington, IN 46750.

A Bible trailer will be at The Marketplace during the Heritage Days celebration on June 22 and 23. Visitors can take a tour through the unit and speak with teachers and staff about the program.

A golf outing has been scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 25, at Norwood Golf Course. To sponsor a hole or for more information, call Karen Humbarger at 758-2418.
