She said, “I’m excited to be a part of the Sheyenne Valley Community Foundation as I feel it’s a win for all involved.  It’s an excellent opportunity for donors to place their gifts and leave a legacy while allowing local charities to benefit from the added oversight and management of these gifts, lending more time to assist the end user and the people of our communities.”
