• Rotary Club of Rockville – $3,000
Funds will assist with installing a new roof and expanding the current building, providing additional space and educational opportunities for the community.
• Bellmore Volunteer Fire Department – $1,737

Thank you to the more than 9,000 Parke County REMC members who agree to have their monthly electric bills “rounded up” to the nearest dollar each month. This money is then placed in a trust to be awarded by an all-volunteer board of Parke County REMC members.
The application deadline for the next cycle is June 2. Applications are available at Parke County REMC, www.pcremc.com, or by calling 765-569-3133 or 800-537-3913.
