Bogue Gift Sets Up Rec Center Endowment

The Ida Grove Community Recreation Center Endowment Fund was made possible because of a $100,000.00 cash gift from Dick Bogue of Ida Grove on October 19, 2007. The permanent endowment fund has been established for future equipment needs and facility improvements at the Ida Grove Community Recreation Center which opened its doors in December of 2003. The gift will benefit the facility for years to come. The gift protects the recreation center’s operating budget from assuming the responsibility of providing these resources on its own. Bogue feels the Ida Grove Community Recreation Center is a worthwhile cause and this gift was a way to give back to the community.
