We received donations in his name, and the family would like to set up a scholarship through the library, or our Friends, that would be available to two graduating seniors (in our school district) each spring. To keep the scholarship going the family would hold a fundraiser each year, such as a softball tournament. At this time the donations total almost $3000, so we could begin this year, as the family has requested. The family feels that a separate bank account should be established, and future donations could be deposited in this account. The board member has 8 children, two of which, are lawyers. The man who is requesting this is a lawyer, and believes this can be done legally, as long as donations are used. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I wonder if any other library does this, and if so, I would like to hear about your experience. Also, if there are any reasons why this is not a good idea, I’d sure like to know that, soon! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Julie Grynwich, Director<br>New Buffalo Twp.
