Our Mission to build bridges to support the future
of Montgomery County takes us beyond the city
gates of Crawfordsville. From support for a master
park design at New Ross, to a mission serving the
underprivileged at Ladoga, or expanding a fire
station in Coal Creek Township, our grants reach far
and wide throughout Montgomery County.
There are excellent resources for planned
giving through our website. Please
check those out, or sign up for our free
e-newsletter, at www.mccf-ingift.org.
Our Values:
We promise integrity in all facets of our work
We provide leadership by engaging in our community
We promote relationships with our stakeholders
We place the community as our highest priority

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Friends,
Looking back over 2012, we are so blessed to be part of the many relationships that we have developed at MCCF.
Our relationships are varied and involve the nonprofits, donors, professional advisors, school counselors and even our
youth.
The grants that we provide in our community have led us to some unexpected and very special friendships. Staff
members, Paula and Cheryl, served as guardians on the trip to Washington DC with our Montgomery County
veterans to view the World War II Memorial. A couple of these veterans have become friends to all of us in our office
and they stop in to say hello and visit.
In 2012, we offered a professional advisors seminar to provide continuing education units to attorneys, financial
planners and accountants. It was held in our second floor meeting room and well attended by 20 professional
advisors from Montgomery County. Our goal was to help them gain important information that will assist them in
their profession, as well as to learn more about MCCF and how we work to strengthen our community.
Our nonprofits are our conduit to serving in our community. You’ll read more about how this works in our annual
report but here’s an example, MCCF did not hammer the nails for the Habitat for Humanity house, but our grant
enabled the organization to purchase the materials and recruit the volunteers to hammer the nails. Our relationships
with our nearly 60 nonprofit organizations in Montgomery County help us better understand the needs and work
together to make our community strong and vibrant.
Part of our mission and vision statements include supporting Montgomery County and to be a proactive leader. We
are only able to do this through our relationships with our many generous donors and by having our door open to
all who want to see our community thrive. We awarded over $1.3 million in grants and scholarships in 2012! These
grants go to human services organizations who serve those in need, to our historical and arts organizations who
provide our community with culture, and to organizations who work to improve education and to our youth as we
award college scholarships. This amount represents the most that has been granted in a year and we see these grants
as a lasting investment in our community.
In 2013, our focus is to deepen these relationships. With all of us working together, we can strengthen our
community and leave a lasting legacy for those who will follow. From our board and staff, we thank each of you for
your friendship, dedication and gifts to the community foundation.
Kindly,

CHUCK AND ALICE HARPEL
DAY TRADER

DONORS
“As you get older, you start
thinking about ways that you can
give back to your community.
We can’t spend all that we have
accumulated and our kids are
successful in their own right so now
is the time to start paying back for
the blessings that we have been
given. Giving to the Foundation
is an opportune way to give to
the community without being
partial - we know that they are
better aware of the needs in the
community and trust that they will
give it to the people who need it
most.”
Alice and Chuck Harpel - in the background is one of the many lovely
paintings of poppies that Alice has painted.
Chuck’s brother, Jim Harpel
Chuck’s brother, Jim Harpel, passed away in 2010 and Jim’s wife, Bev, started the
Jim Harpel Basketball Scholarship Fund in his memory through the gifts of family
and friends. Chuck and Alice have set up recurring donations to this fund, faithfully
contributing in his memory. During Chuck’s career at R.R. Donnelleys, he worked
with Jim and they had so much fun together that they were not allowed to be in
the same meetings! Chuck says of Jim that “he was very giving and had a knack for
not taking things too personally. That’s what made him such a good manager and
people loved him.” The very first scholarship award went to a female athlete and
Chuck says that Jim would have felt good about that.
Chuck and Alice have lived in Crawfordsville since 1974 and raised two children. Alice had a satisfying
career in Education - she was instrumental in starting the Gifted and Talented program at North
Montgomery and then went to work for the Indiana Department of Education. After retiring, she pursued
her passion for painting and now devotes many hours in her studio and enjoys success as a talented artist.
After serving in the Navy, Chuck sold insurance for a few years and then went to work at Donnelleys where
he retired after 25 years. He now “works” as a day trader and spends several hours a day in his home
office. We truly appreciate Chuck and Alice and their support of the work we do in our community.

The Montgomery County Community Foundation would not exist to serve in
our community without the generosity and goodwill of our donors.
Thank you!

FUNDS
INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY
Investing in Montgomery County
There are SIX types of funds that a donor may choose
when endowing a named fund:
Investing in your community has never been more
exciting! MCCF offers a range of options to help you
personalize your gift to your community. We know
that every individual or family places value on different
charitable achievements, and we are here to help ensure
that you can enjoy the satisfaction of seeing your dreams
realized. Below you will find brief descriptions of some
of the ways you can contribute to MCCF. In addition,
you can remember the Foundation in your estate plan.
Establishing a Pathway Plan
A gift to the Community Fund
An unrestricted fund enables the Board of Directors to
choose the most worthy and needy recipients of your
fund’s distribution over time according to the current
needs of the community. The flexibility of the fund
makes it particularly valuable to the community.
Gifts to the Community Fund are pooled together in
order to meet the changing needs of our community.
A gift to a specific existing Fund
MCCF holds funds dedicated to specific purposes and
organizations. You can add to any of these funds to
further the work that they do in our community or start
a new fund to address the needs about which you feel
strongly.
A Note About Named Funds
The donor may choose the name by which the fund
will be known as well as its purpose with a minimum
contribution of $5,000 ($10,000 for scholarships).
Anyone may add to the principal amount of the gift
at any time, but the original directives of the donor
remain unchanged. Once established, it is pooled
together with other funds for the purpose of maximizing
the investment returns of all funds. The earnings are
ultimately separated from the others and are distributed
by the MCCF Board according to the wishes of the
Donor.
Jack Wyatt, donor, stopping by the office for a visit
A Pathway Plan is a planned giving agreement that
allows you to build a named fund over five years. In
the past, a minimum gift of $5,000 was required to
establish a fund. With the Pathway Plan, you may now
establish the fund immediately with a minimum of
$1,000 and add to it over the years.
Establishing an Unrestricted Fund
Establishing a Restricted Fund
A Restricted Fund allows you to choose specifically the
charity, or charities, that you wish to support.
Establishing a Donor Advised Fund
A Donor-Advised Fund allows you to make non-binding
recommendations to the Board of Directors, thus
allowing you more interaction with your fund.
Establishing a Field-of-Interest Fund
Field-of-Interest Funds allow you to choose a particular
area of charitable interest that you would like to support.
The Board of Directors then identifies the most qualified
local charities which work to support your area of
interest.
Establishing a Scholarship Fund
Scholarship Funds provide assistance to Montgomery
County students. Scholarship criteria may be broadly
or narrowly defined, as you choose. Please note that
for administrative reasons, scholarship funds require a
minimum contribution of $10,000.
Several new funds were established in 2012 and I have been fortunate to
meet and get to know some very special people in our community. There
are many different reasons and situations that bring someone to us to
establish a fund. Many times we are working with families who have
lost loved ones and they want to remember that special someone and
direct memorials through a named fund. And I hope these families feel
that we have brought them some comfort while developing some lasting
relationships. I like to remind the donors that I meet with that they are
always welcome to stop by our office and I’ll do that again—please feel
free to stop by 119 East Main Street—our doors are open and we love
having visitors. - Kelly Taylor, Executive Director

We didn’t write Nadja’s
book - but thanks to
Jack and Dene Roberts,
we put the book in the
hands of every student
at Tuttle Middle School.
“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all the children of
the world walked to school singing? If only the
adults could become children. There would be
no wars, no suffering and slaughter.” - Nadja,
December 1992
Nadja Halilbegovich grew up in the beautiful city of Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia. Her family spent idyllic weekends
at a cottage they owned in the country where Nadja and her brother experienced the peace and tranquility of a
happy childhood. That world was shattered in April of 1992 when war broke out in Sarajevo.
In her book, My Childhood Under Fire, Nadja describes what life was like as a young teenager during those three
war-torn years. Living with the constant sounds of bombs exploding around her, watching her city destroyed and
seeing fellow citizens, many of them children, killed or wounded, she began to write. Often taking refuge in a dingy
basement, her diary became a friend to her as she expressed feelings of hurt, confusion and fear, weaving some of
the stories into insightful poetry and songs. Today her diary remains her most valuable possession.
Nadja makes it her mission in life to talk to kids who are the same age as she was during the
war, encouraging them that they too can overcome obstacles. She recently made a visit to
Tuttle Middle School where Nadja talked with students about her experiences. Prior to her
visit, all middle school students were given a copy of her book to read and discuss; those
books were made possible through funding from the Jack and Dene Roberts Remedial
Reading Fund at the Montgomery County Community Foundation.
Sue Streetman, Tuttle Middle School teacher, spearheaded this event
and commented how exciting it was to see all the students in the
Nadja speaking at Tuttle
school carrying around the same book, as well as the unity that came
Middle School
from them reading it together. The students were very excited that
Nadja cared enough to come to their school and for many, it was an emotional moment as
they listened to her tell how she overcame far worse situations than their own. She shared
openly and honestly about her struggles and sadness during those difficult years, but also
about the windows of joy that opened for her in unexpected ways. Nadja asked the students
to consider that they have a choice to make a difference, rather than view themselves as
victims of circumstances.
“The most
important thing that
Nadja would like us
to remember is to not
look back on the bad
things but look ahead
to the good things that
might happen.” - Tuttle
Middle School student
The students completed writing assignments about Nadja’s presentation in diary form, just like her book. It is
apparent in these writings that her words, both written and oral, left a lasting impression on them. One student
wrote, “At times I felt like I was on the verge of tears because when Nadja spoke, it was so moving. I feel really blessed
to be living in a country where I don’t
have to be worried about war and
loss. It helped that I read the book to
understand what she was saying.” And
thanks to Jack and Dene Roberts,
who believed in the value of reading
and established a fund to support
those efforts, the eyes of these
middle school students were opened

FUNDS
NEW FUNDS
Brian Bowman Memorial Scholarship Fund
This fund was established as a
Pathway Plan by family and
friends in memory of Specialist
Brian Bowman who was a medic
in the U.S. Army. While serving
in Afghanistan, his unit was
attacked by insurgents and Brian
was killed as he was giving aid
to a wounded soldier. Since his untimely death in
January of 2010, donations from friends and family,
along with proceeds from the American Legion Post
72’s Annual Brian Bowman Ride, have enabled the
Pathway Plan to become a fully endowed fund.
Brian left behind a young wife, Casie, who has since
returned to Montgomery County and teaches in the
South Montgomery school district.
Barbara and Larry Frye Fund
Established by Larry
and Barbara Frye, this
designated fund will
support Habitat for
Humanity. For many years
the Fryes have dedicated
themselves to serving
and supporting our local
Habitat organization. They wholeheartedly believe
in its Biblical mission to helping the poor obtain safe
and adequate housing without a usury fee.
Keith Hester Scholarship Fund
This fund was established by
anonymous donors in memory of
Keith who passed away in 2012.
The scholarship will be awarded
to a Southmont graduating senior
attending Purdue University to
study agriculture. Keith and his
family have farmed in the South
Montgomery area for more than
60 years making this scholarship a very fitting
tribute to his life.
Dennis and Dee Hohlbein Fund
Dennis and Dee Hohlbein expressed
their desire to give back to their
community with Executive Director,
Kelly Taylor. After discussing various
options, the Hohlbein’s established
this unrestricted fund, which will
allow MCCF to address areas of
greatest need. Dennis is a volunteer who serves on
our Investment Committee.
Montgomery County Free Clinic Fund
Another fund that began as a pathway plan, this
will support operations of the Dr. Mary Ludwig
Free Clinic. The clinic will provide health and
dental care to the uninsured in Montgomery
County. In the 1960’s, Dr. Ludwig provided health
care for those unable to afford it. A large group of
dedicated volunteers have followed her example by
establishing this clinic and naming it in her honor.
David and Sheridan Hadley Fund
Joe and Clara Smith Scholarship Fund
Montgomery County residents David and Sheridan
Hadley, created a Pathway Plan and faithfully
contributed to it over time and in 2012, it became a
full fund. Their fund is a Field of Interest Fund and
they chose to support the areas of health, wellness,
fitness and recreation. The Hadley’s consider the
role of a healthy lifestyle, not only for the individual,
but also for the community as a whole, to be very
important. David is a retired professor and Sheridan
is a retired school administrator.
As a farmer, Joe understands
the importance of hard work
and the integrity one needs
to build a good life. He
desired to direct a scholarship
award, based on character
and citizenship, that will
honor a student who exhibits
those same characteristics. Joe established this fund
in memory of his beloved wife, Clara. Together, they
raised their family with the belief that faith, family
and education was of highest value.

FUNDS
Dr. Claude Thompson Fund
Mag & Lil Fund
Dr. Thompson was a highly
respected doctor who practiced
medicine in Waynetown and
the surrounding area for 35
years. This fund, established
in his memory by family and
friends, and in honor of his life
and career, will provide support
for the operation of the Dr. Mary Ludwig Free Clinic.
For someone who devoted his life to the health and
welfare of others, this fund is a lasting legacy of the
impact Dr. Thompson made in our community.
This will be a Donor Advised
Fund and was established
by Dan and Kelly Taylor
on behalf of their children,
Maggie and Lillie Taylor. The
Taylors believe it is important
that children learn about
philanthropy and this fund
will be a tool to teach them about giving. As a
Donor Advised fund, Maggie and Lillie can make
recommendations for the awards.
Gloria and Marvin Oliver Fund
Leonard and Louise Winchell Fund
Louise and her late husband,
Leonard, owned and operated
Winchell’s Jewelry Store in
downtown Crawfordsville for
many years. They were very
grateful for the support from
the community during their
years as business owners and
Louise wanted to give back in
some measurable way. She chose to establish this
unrestricted fund as a way of saying thanks and as a
way to benefit the community as a whole.
Marvin works at MCCF as
the Financial Coordinator,
and his wife, Gloria, is a
volunteer and in these
roles, they recognize the
impact the Foundation
has on our community.
Understanding the
importance of having funds that offer some latitude
in how they are used, Marvin and Gloria decided to
establish an unrestricted fund.

Raelyn L. Earley Memorial Fund
Established to enhance the Darlington Community
Center. Donations are currently being accepted for
replacing windows in the center.
Raelyn was a North Montgomery
High School junior who lost her
life in the spring of 2012 in a
car accident and this fund was
established by her family as a
lasting tribute to her. Raelyn was
a member of the softball team
and her family hopes the fund
can either provide scholarships to
NMHS graduates who are also softball players, or in
some way benefit the school’s softball program.
Hoosier Heartland Scholarship Pass

Established by Hoosier Heartland State Bank, a
local community bank, to recognize a student who

PATHWAY PLANS
A Pathway Plan is a planned giving agreement that allows you
to build a named fund over five years. In the past, an up front
minimum gift of $5,000 ($10,000 scholarships) was required
to establish a fund. With the Pathway Plan, you now can
establish the fund immediately with less than $5,000 adding
to it over time.

The numbers can be overwhelming in size, yet sometimes almost meaningless. But think about this: A
modest grant of $5,702 is making a big difference in the lives of our middle school and high school youth.
PEERS (Peers Educating and Encouraging Relationship Skills) Project of Indiana is a statewide organization
which promotes through peer role models, avoidance of sex, drugs, alcohol, tobacco and other risky behaviors
so that life goals are not sidetracked. After being well received in the North Montgomery School Corporation,
there was a desire to expand to the Crawfordsville and South Montgomery School Corporations and this
money will help make that happen.
A senior girl at NMHS said this about PEERS, “The PEERS lesson my sophomore year presented by two high
school guys had great impact on me and helped me get out of a bad relationship.” A classmate said that for
him, “PEERS is a good way to keep us accountable to our peer mentors and enables us to reach out in our
communities and influence younger students in a positive manner.” Another said, “PEERS has helped me
with my speaking ability and taught me more as I am doing the teaching.” With substance abuse, bullying and
teen pregnancies presenting such serious problems in our community, we’re pleased to see this tool being
used so effectively. These young people now stand a better chance of making it out of high school without
the interruptions and even road blocks that poor decisions can cause. What price tag would you place on that
kind of benefit?
Kaden Patton playing Biddy Ball at the Boys and Girls Club
Another big investment we were able to make
in our youth was through the Boys & Girls Club.
They stepped out on a limb and requested their
grant be based on a match which they would
raise themselves. By the end of the year, they
had successfully raised $30,000 which we then
matched with $30,000. Executive Director Craig
Reeves credits the match as a key factor in that
success, saying, “We had many donors express
their desire to give knowing that their gift would
basically double.” The Club is an important
member of the “village” it takes to raise our kids.

STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY
We didn’t fly the plane
- but through our grant
to Indiana Gold Star
Mothers, a group of
local veterans took a trip
to the WWII Memorial in
Washington D.C.
“We can’t thank the Community Foundation
enough for their great support of the Gold Star
Mothers Honor Flight project. It is only with
support from such generous donors that we are
able to provide these flights to our Honored
Veterans.” - Dana Vann, Indiana Gold Star
Mother
The plane left the Purdue airport early on September 24, 2012. As it rose through the clouds, so did the level of
excitement and anticipation of the 80 veterans and their guardians. It was a day of remembering for the veterans
as they visited the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. on an all-expense paid trip sponsored by Indiana Gold
Star Mothers in conjunction with the Honor Flight network. This particular trip was made possible through a $10,000
unrestricted grant from the Montgomery County Community Foundation through the Irwin Lee Detchon, Thomas
and Mary Beth Harmon, Carl F. and Margaret Henthorn, and Michael D. and Sally A. Hinkle Funds.
Some of the time was spent in quiet reflection as the veterans moved throughout the memorial, observing the rich
symbolic details and bronze etchings depicting actual scenes from the war. Many stood silently at Freedom Wall,
where the 4,000 gold stars represent the more than 400,000 lives that were lost during WWII and serves as a stark
reminder of the harsh realities of war.
But in spite of the solemn, yet beautiful, surroundings, these aged and worn men and women had a twinkle in their
eye as they shared jokes, or memories about a bygone era. The shared experiences of war and the common bond of
serving our country made for instant camaraderie among them.
For many of the veterans, it was their first time on a plane or to even visit the nation’s capital. On this trip they were
also given the opportunity to see the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, and Korean War Memorial. Lastly, a
visit was made to Arlington Cemetery where they could see the Changing of the Guard ceremony.
All too quickly, the shadows lengthened and the day came to a close. Most were ready for a respite from the day’s
activities and yet, guardians and veterans alike were invigorated and inspired as they recounted their stories of this
day. While the guardians felt privileged to spend the day with true heroes, the veterans did not see themselves as
such. Humility spilled over in their attitude and sincere appreciation flowed from their lips for this opportunity to see
their war memorial, built as a lasting tribute to all the men and women who sacrificed for our freedom.

Engagement Grants

In 2012, the Board Community Engagement
Grants were initiated as a tool for our board members
to fulfill our vision of being proactive leaders in our
community. Each board member chose an organization to
receive a $1,000 grant - the grants ranged from Tom Mellish
awarding a grant to the Darlington Community Center and
participating in the local parade, to Nancy Sennett’s grant
that helped MUFFY sponsor two mobile food pantries. I think
I can speak for the board when I say that what probably
meant the most to us was the opportunity to interact with
the nonprofits during this process. This led on several
occasions to our board members volunteering to
help these organizations execute the grant
within our community.

“Thank you for the support you extended to NICHES and
Friends of Sugar Creek to sponsor our Family Friendly
Float Trip. Through such support that MCCF offers, our
community thrives.” - Marc Hudson, Board member,
Friends of Sugar Creek
Photos by Maggie Taylor
Our June Community Engagement Grant was awarded to NICHES (Northern Indiana Citizens Helping
Ecosystems Survive) for a Family Float Trip excursion. Sixty canoeists and kayakers, many first timers
and families, made this leisurely float down Sugar Creek which was co-hosted by Friends of Sugar
Creek. By days end, new friends were made and appreciation of our natural resources grew deeper.

SHAPING OUR COMMUNITY
MICHAEL MYERS
NORTHRIDGE MIDDLE
SCHOOL TEACHER
SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT
“I was fortunate to receive two
Foundation scholarships - the
Fred and Ina Clark Scholarship
and the Florence and Lee Servies
Scholarship. These awards were
unbelievably valuable to me and
helped answer the question, ‘Am I
going to be able to afford college?’
After graduating from Wabash
College, I wanted to stay in this
area because it was through this
community of caring and giving
people that I was given the money
that alleviated so much of the financial pressure of attending
college. On a personal level, for my wife and I, we also decided
to plant roots in this community because the people that loved us
first and love us most will always be in this area.”
Michael is getting ready to grade
some of the never-ending papers
on his desk. At least he seems to be
enjoying the task!
Michael Myers and Maggie Blaich have known each other since
kindergarten but didn’t start dating until their college years. After
Maggie graduated from high school, she was fairly certain she did
not want to come back to this area; however, time and perspective
changed all that and she is delighted to build a life in this community
with Michael. She says, “This whole county is filled with people who
care so much and I wish others could see how important it is to stay here
and make a difference.” Maggie is currently in graduate school working
on her Masters in Social Work and her desire is to work with women
and families. One way she is already making an impact in that area
Athenas - Halloween party
is through her volunteer work with the Athenas, an after-school program for teenage
girls funded in part through the Montgomery County Community Foundation and the
Women’s Legacy Fund. The Athenas is a mentoring program designed to teach at-risk
teen girls how to make healthy choices about food and relationships, to offer a safe
venue to talk about problems and issues, and to encourage physical activity - all the
while boosting the self-confidence many of these girls struggle to maintain.
Michael’s teaching career also involves a lot of social work - he has learned to discern
the signals from students that indicate there are problems at home. However, he is
enthusiastic about teaching and couldn’t think of a better job in the world. Michael and
Maggie Myers are helping to shape our community in positive ways.
“I wish more people knew and understood all the ways the MCCF touches people. It’s crazy to
think about where the community would be without the Foundation.” - Michael and Maggie

YOUTH PHILANTHROPY ESSAY CONTEST
“A community is more than just a town on a map. A community is a place where one is born, raised,
nurtured, taught, and loved. It is a place where the most beautiful memories are created and where the
most tragic events occur. A community is like a colorful woven basket; weaved with all types of people,
places, and things.” – Cali Saunders
MCCF sponsored a Youth Essay Contest in honor of
Community Foundation Week. We invited 8th grade students
from all three county schools to participate and write an essay
that incorporated the themes of why it is important to give
back to the community and what have they done to make a
difference.

VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
Volunteers play a vital role in the success of our local nonprofits
and we’re happy to recognize one individual as our MCCF
Volunteer of the Year. Jan Sears has devoted nearly thirty years
of her life to serving others and was honored as the 17th Annual
MCCF Volunteer of the Year for her service to HUB Ministries.
HUB is housed at the New Bethel Church and strives to be the
connector between those in need and the resources they lack.
Volunteer of the Year Jan Sears receives her
award from Board President, John Tidd
A check in the amount of $1,000 was presented to HUB
Ministry in honor of Jan’s volunteer service.
The 2nd Annual Peggy Herzog Youth Volunteer of the
Year was awarded to Allen Johnson for his work at the
Boys & Girls Club of Montgomery County. As a high
school student Allen now volunteers his time at the club
to help mentor and tutor the younger members as well as
help out with cleaning tasks.
The club received $500 in honor of Allen’s service.

Denim & Diamonds Dinner Tour -
a celebration
of “Ag ‘n Culture” in Montgomery County
Laughter bubbled over and spilled out onto the streets of downtown
Crawfordsville during our fourth annual Denim & Diamonds event! Cheerful
chatter and lively banter continued to flow easily throughout the evening
as new faces mingled with familiar friends. The ingenuity and originality
displayed on many of the decorated t-shirts worn at the event only added to
the fun and festive atmosphere.
The real “diamonds” of the evening were our nonprofit agencies who were
gracious hosts for this event. The crisp, autumn air was a perfect backdrop
as nearly 160 guests gathered at the Crawfordsville District Public Library’s
new Pavillion and began the evening with scrumptious appetizers served by
Bon Appetit. From there we traversed the city streets to celebrate Ag&Culture
in our community. A treasure trove of local history was discovered at
the Carnegie Museum and guests enjoyed the exhibit, “Agriculture: The
Cultivation of Montgomery County.” The flavor and creativity of local artisans
was on display at the Athens Art Gallery; and fun photo opportunities were
held at the Marie Canine Plaza.
Later in the evening guests were treated to a succulent dinner at the
Country Club prepared by Chef Jeff. Mouths were watering as the savory
dishes, served family style, arrived at individual tables. And the apple
streusel filled cupcakes were a perfect ending to such a delicious and
delightful meal! All guests were given t-shirts and encouraged to
bedazzle them - and many did with spectacular results! Those winning
prizes for their efforts were: Suanne Milligan, Marie Stocks, Sally Evans,
Dee and Dennis Hohlbein, Mike Raters and Tobey Herzog. Sugar Creek
Players generously donated show tickets for prizes.
Our deepest gratitude goes to all of our generous sponsors, without whom
this event would not be possible: Wabash College, Bon Appetit, Capital

MutualWealth, Sennett

Leadership roles in our Community
Agency Meetings
Twice each year we gather local agencies for a time of sharing
information about resources and upcoming grant cycles and they
share news from their organizations with us. It is an enjoyable time as
we learn about the great things going on in our community and it is a
time of encouragement. At the spring meeting, we unveiled the Nancy
Doemel Nonprofit Library. During her career as Senior Advancement
Officer at Wabash College, Nancy acquired quite a collection of books.
Upon her retirement she donated them to us and they are now in
a library bearing her name on the second floor of our building. Our
library also has a computer for nonprofit leaders to use in their search
for grant possibilities beyond MCCF by accessing our online database
of grantmakers.
MCCF Executive Director, Kelly
Taylor (left) presents a Certificate of
Appreciation to Nancy Doemel (right)
for her contribution of books to our new
library, appropriately named the Nancy
Doemel Nonprofit Library.
Professional Advisors Seminar
Professional advisors are positioned to play a critical role in helping their clients
achieve their charitable goals. We hosted a Professional Advisors Workshop
in September for local attorneys, accountants and financial planners. The
speaker was Phil Purcell, J.D. and Vice-President of Planned Giving for Ball State
University Foundation. Phil helped them to see that a Community Foundation
can be a versatile and effective tool for donors to use in their gift planning.
Ivy Tech Forum
In August 2011 our Board discussed their role in the possibility of an
expanded presence of Ivy Tech Community College in our county. With
uncertainties whirling, the board unanimously agreed that the venture
was critical to the educational, and consequently, the economic health of
our community and that it was important for MCCF to speak up about it.
Together with the League of Women Voters of Montgomery County and
Farm Bureau, Inc., we co-hosted a forum on the topic February 2, 2012.
By inviting key game players we were able to present all the facts available
by those most knowledgeable about them to the public. We’re happy to
say that less than one year later, the facility opened for classes.
2012 Nonprofit Learning Series
Our community is blessed with many hard working nonprofit agencies
and we want to support them in ways that go beyond a grant check. By
providing them with the tools to strengthen themselves, we believe
their good works will be sustained for the long haul. One way to do this
is to provide educational opportunities for both staff and volunteers.
By partnering with the Putnam County Community Foundation and
the Indiana Nonprofit Resource Network, we offered eight top quality
workshops last year with topics ranging from Financial Accountability to
the use of Social Media. Nearly 300 people attended the 2012 series.

“I have been blessed to work for the most amazing and
selfless boss over the last twenty-two years. So it really came
as no surprise when Dr. Rucker asked all of us at the office to
consider donating to the Dr. Mary Ludwig Free Clinic rather
than getting her any gifts last year. Little did we know how
close this project really was to her heart. So, for each holiday,
we donated an amount in her honor. Dr. Rucker was always
overwhelmed by our support, often getting choked up as she
thanked us. It was really a joy to give back to my community
in honor of such an amazing and selfless individual as my
boss: Dr Janet L. Rucker.”
