St. James Community Fund looking for more, younger members
St. James Plaindealer
The St. James Community Fund is looking towards the future and hoping to get more tech-savvy with younger members interested in joining. What we are looking for is a group of four or five people who are tech-savvy and have a vested interest in our community and want to pick up the community fund project and roll with it, said Ted Hedberg.
Hedberg says the community fund is also looking to expand its online presence, particularly by setting up a Facebook page.
The community fund currently has 21 recipients of the community fund s fundraising efforts.
