She told trustees last Tuesday night in Clinton that the foundation has brought about 19 .programs tt) kindergarten to OAC over the last 10 years. It. is perhaps hest known -for its Shakespeare -on -Wheels pro- gram. To extend its services, Lake'told trustees That the foundation will have to step up its fundraising in order to cover the costs of imple- menting its programs across the SS' schools in the hoard's jurisdiction. it will also require a minimal increase in the administratvie sup- port. • Lake said she is confident the increased fundraising -is possible. One hoard member has taken on a fundraising campaign geared to taking the programs into Huron County. Also, Lake said -the foundation has developed credibility over the last 10 years.
