It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, I just want to give a brief update as to foundation happenings. The Lily M. Literacy Campaign has awarded its first scholarship. It went to Dawn Giddings of Wellsville High School.
Generous donations of Lily Pads continue to come in--and go out. The troubled economy continues to force people to make decisions that no one should really be forced to make. Pets are being abandoned or even euthanized because of the inability to buy their food. Lily's Friends is working to establish a relationship with food pantries in which we will donate pet food for those in need.
If you look at the right of this post, you'll see a yellow button reading Donate. That's right, now you can make your donation to The Lily M. Foundation, Inc., via PayPal. If you'd like your donation to go to a specific project, please indicate so in the Comment section.

Welcome to The Lily M. Foundation
Welcome all who have found their way to the blog for The Lily M. Foundation. Founded in 2007, the foundation has two primary purposes. Through Lily's Friends, the foundation will assist in paying for veterinary care for the pets of seniors and individuals in need. It is also hoped that, in time, the program will also be able to give grants to shelters and rescues to help defray the cost of veterinary care for animals under their care.
The other program is called The Lily M. Literacy Campaign. Without an ability to read and write, one's ability to live a high-quality life is severely compromised. The Lily M. Literacy Campaign aims to create a renewed interest in reading and writing through reading programs and contests to encourage writing. In July 2007, the program will award prizes to the boys and girls who read the most pages during the Ottumwa (Iowa) Public Library's Summer Reading Program. In the spring of 2008, the program will award scholarships to graduating seniors in Allegany County, New York.
The Lily M. Foundation is going through the process that will lead to becoming tax exempt under IRS 501 (c)(3). If you would like to make a contribution anyway, please contact LilyM@idawalker.com.
