A $10,000 check from the estate of a local benefactor was given to the Broadalbin-Perth Education Foundation (BPEF) at the August 15 Board of Education meeting.
Dave Wallin-Eddy presented the check on behalf of his great aunt, Pauline H. Anderson. Pauline willed the money to the foundation to honor her sister Minnie Anderson. Both Pauline and Minnie were highly educated and progressive women who valued education, loved literature, the arts, Girl Scouting, and gardening. Minnie was a co-founder of the now Sacandaga Garden Club.
The BPEF is a not-for-profit organization whose goal is to raise funds to distribute grants to promote, sponsor, and expand educational opportunities by bridging the gap between the community and our school district.
