P&G VOLUNTEER GRANT PROGRAM DONATES TO PARK FOUNDATION

Procter & Gamble has donated $500 to the Cape Girardeau Parks Development Foundation to be used improvements of Capaha Lagoon.

The donation was made through Procter & Gamble's volunteer grant program. Through this program, employees or retirees of P&G may apply for grants for specific projects in which they are personally involved.

Jackie Todd, who retired from P&G, applied for and received this grant on behalf of the parks foundation.

As a past member and officer of the Cape Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and current member of the parks foundation, Todd has actively supported improvements for the Capaha Lagoon.

The major portion of the improvements to the lagoon are completed with some additional rip-rap and concrete pads yet to be installed. The grant money will be used to complete this portion of the project.
