Foundation
Passes Audit
with
Flying Colors
At the end of
August and the first of September, the accounting
firm of Baden, Gage & Schroeder performed the
annual audit for the Foundation. Since the
fiscal year ends June 30th, this is the ideal time
for a thorough examination of financial activities
and controls. The report came back with a
clean bill of health, assuring the community and
its donors that financial responsibility is a
priority, and one that is not overlooked. In
addition, an IRS form 990 will be prepared and
submitted which will be open for public inspection
via www.guidestar.org in the near
future.A
special thanks goes out to our CPA who works
with the foundation to keep its books current and
accurate. Without him, our audit would not
run so smoothly.If you are
interested in receiving a copy of the audit report
or would like to schedule a time to review it at
our office, please call or submit a request to
Sandy Ferrell, Administrative Assistant
via sferrell@steubenfoundation.org.

Participates in
Toboggan
Speed Challenge
|
| "Fund-Racers":
Lisa Caudill, Joe Biedenweg, Bill Stockberger
& Sandy
Ferrell |
On
Thursday, December 2, the Community Foundation
Staff, dubbed "the Fund-Racers", participated in
the 1st Corporate Toboggan Speed Challenge at
Pokagon State Park. The event was the idea
of Park Manager, Ted Bowman and was
supported by the Angola Chamber of
Commerce. A total of 39 teams
participated.
Although
one of the coldest days so far this year, spirits
were high and a very festive atmosphere was
apparent. After each team made two runs down the
track, all were invited to participate in a chili
supper in the warming
shed.
The
Foundation's team clocked in a time of 38 miles
per
hour. |

FIST
Youth POD Spreads
Holiday
Cheer
On
Tuesday, December 7th, members of the
FIST Youth Pod spread Christmas cheer
to both young and young at
heart in Steuben
County.
To
start the day, the students visited Vistula
Headstart in Fremont. The children were
given coloring books made by the FIST
members. In addition, each child was
given either a Candyland or Chutes &
Ladders game to wrap and take home as their gift
to their family. The visit ended with
holiday songs being
sung.
In the afternoon, FIST
students paid a visit to Cameron Woods
for their annual gingerbread house making.
As some of the students helped the residents
create sugary masterpieces, other students
helped wrap gifts that Cameron Woods will
present to the
residents.
Thank
you to our Youth POD for their ongoing commitment
to "Doin' Good in the
Neighborhood!"
