city-of-perry-300x114-61

The next meeting of the 100+ People for Perry is this coming Monday, and new members are always welcome.

The gathering will be held at La Poste on May 20th, with a social time at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting starting at 7. Three random projects will be selected for consideration, with members presenting them for the rest of the group. The attendees will then vote on which project to support, and each member will donate $100 to the one chosen. Organizers remind members to bring any project suggestions they may have so there are plenty to choose from.

The goal of 100+ People for Perry is to invest in the City’s future and enhance the quality of life for residents. The organization makes four large donations a year, each of which will fund the project of a nonprofit group that operates in the Perry community. To date, they have pledged $88,300 to 13 different projects, including to the Perry Alano Club at their first meeting of this year. Anyone interested in joining is encouraged to reach out to organizers Mark Powell at 515-465-4641 or mpowel@fdplawfirm.com, Tom Lipovac at Tom.Lipovac@perry.k12.ia.us, or Linda Kaufman at kaufmanlinda1948@gmail.com. Any members that can’t attend Monday’s meeting can drop off their check at the Finneseth, Dalen, and Powell Law Firm.
