These funds will be provided to Rebuilding Together Geneseo/Cambridge as they are coordinating much of the effort. A request to assist First Lutheran Preschool was also approved at $300. These funds will be used to help with operating expenses.

Sue Wolf will remain in one
of the positions and the second position will be filled during July.
