Story County has many needs which currently are not
being addressed, and we enthusiastically support the
Story County Community Foundation as yet another
approach to meeting these needs. We are long-time
residents of Ames (over 45 years), and have, perhaps
too slowly, realized the existence of these unmet needs
from a number of different viewpoints. We are co-chairs
this year of the Retirees Division of United Way of Story
County; Ruth has been active in the establishment of the
Story County Community Dental Clinic; and individually
both have served on the Board of the Emergency
Residence Project where Clayton currently is President
of the Board. Most organizations, such as these, rely
directly on individual contributions, and the existence of
this Foundation will provide an important supplementary
source of funding for special projects or unusual
situations in the future.

Ruth and Clayton


Ruth and Clayton feel strongly about giving back to the
community in which they live. Through the years, they
have been very strong supporters of many human
service agencies in Story County. They give not only
monetarily but countless hours of their time. They like the
idea that the Story County Community Foundation will
continue to assess the needs in the county and use the
endowed dollars to make a difference in the future.

Thank you for your continued generosity Ruth and
Clayton!
