The Lewis & Clark Area Development, Inc. group has pledged a gift of $5,000 to the Crofton Community Foundation Fund with a challenge for the community fo Crofton to match it by March 25, 2012. The matching funds will need to be raised, and The Community of Crofton, both in and out of town, are invited to match the gift before Lewis & Clark Area Developement Inc will write the check. Remember, contributions or donations can be small or large, memberships or life insurance policies, estate memorials or gifts of grain from area farmers. Working together, Crofton can achieve this small footstep to build the Crofton Community Foundation Fund endowment or contribute some working capital for community improvements.
