Prairie Benefits
Prairie County is starting a community foundation to help sustain the community long after current citizens are gone. Cathy Cooney of the MT Community Foundation met with the new board May 29 to review the benefits and the responsibilities. With Prairie County being the oldest median population in the state at 49.5 years old, the transfer of wealth from one generation to another is coming faster than average to Prairie County. This is a way to give back to the community that helped raise your family and supported your business. It is a way to help the community prosper as the foundation will give back the interest and special incentive grants to local projects. Officers include Dale Hellman Chair, Ron Kiosse Secretary, Tim Rittal Treasurer and board members Larry Bond, Rolane Christofferson, Ann Marie Davis, Sandra Brown and Jim Ross. They are looking for an other agriculture based member. Donations may be made to Prairie Benefits at Box 82, Terry, MT
