Horizons Steering Committee Seeks Guidance from Cathy Cooney of the Montana Community Foundation
The Columbus Horizons Steering Committee was very appreciative of Cathy Cooney’s time as she presented information on Community Foundations. Cathy Cooney attended a meeting of the Steering Committee that included Stillwater County Commissioner, Dennis Hoyem, on February 15, 2008. The committee had the opportunity to ask questions and find direction in moving forward to getting a Community Foundation for the Town of Columbus off the ground. Cathy’s excitement and passion for the organizations definitely influenced and motivated the committee. The committee concluded that this would be a great opportunity and direction in creating a self sustainable source of funding for the Town of Columbus. The funding would be a great asset to many poverty reduction projects and guide to involving all socio-economic classes in the community.
