Its official name is the George DeBuchanne Community Service Project Fund, and it is the updated version of the Honor Fund.  Its purpose is to award grants to club members to assist with a community-minded photography project.

A key improvement in the new fund is that money is available all year long, so club members can apply for and receive a grant at any time.

You can be involved with the Community Service Project Fund in one of two ways:

1. Apply for a grant for your own project.

 Last year’s recipient was given a grant to help with the expenses of the Help Portrait project, in which matted family portraits were given to area families during the Holiday season.  The possibilities for projects are limited only by your imagination.

If you would like to talk over a project you are considering, please contact David Blass at davidablass@gmail.com

 

2. Donate to the Fund. 

Any amount is welcome, and all the money will go into the Fund to support a Community-related project.  Contact Bruce Schaefer, the Club Treasurer, to make a donation.  Either see him at a meeting or mail to:
