We have the ability to apply each year for our various projects. This money comes from the Don MacKenzie investment fund. The amount Legacy West chapters receive depends on the group membership count.

A big place to sign people up is the new Family and Friends category where we can enroll any volunteer whether they are company employees or retired members or friends or family members-anyone who is interested in participating with us. We have a lot of volunteers helping us that haven’t worked for the Bell system, and they are all potential Pioneer members.

When we receive a grant for one of our projects, certain dates are given as when to apply, when and how to spend and how to show it as a completed grant. As soon as we receive a grant, the timeline has begun. Keep on reading!

A BIG thank you to SACC Pioneer Barb McNeill for sharing these wonderful photos. These items were found by the granddaughter of a former AT&T employee when she was cleaning out the attic of their grandpa’s house.
