Dow Chemical Co. announced on July 1, 2009 the awarding of a 2009 Community Grant to the Bay Area Council.

The Grant proposal was submitted for the replacement of the drinking water pressure tank at Camp Karankawa. The pressure tank was in dire need of replacement and with the Grant Award the tank will now be replaced.

The amount of the Grant is for $25,000. Dow sponsors two types of Grants: The Heritage Grant – Maximum $25,000 and the Diamond Grant – Maximum $5,000. According to Dow’s Gary Hockstra, site manager, there were 72 applications submitted this year. This is double the number as in past years. There were 12 Grants awarded this year. The Bay Area Council was one of three recipients of the maximum $25,000 Heritage Grant.

The Bay Area Council expresses its sincere gratitude to the Dow Chemical Co. for this generous Award. This Award will ensure Camp Karankawa of adequate drinking water for another twenty years.
