	Announcing The William and Lorraine Benson Music Fund
	The Foundation is please to announce the creation of a new fund by Bill Benson. With a generous donation, Bill created a non-endowed fund to support traditional music at Grace. The fund will support the organ and the grand piano as well as provide music for the choir. Bill wanted to honor and recognize his wife Lorraine’s fondness for the pipe organ and other music they experienced during services at Grace. He decided to make a gift now that would continue on in the future, ensuring that others will be able to enjoy the music during services. During the process of defining Bill’s gift, his daughter encouraged him to honor himself as well as his wife, Lorraine. And, that is how The William and Lorraine Benson Music Fund got its name. If you are interested in making a gift to the Foundation in the name of your family or for a specific program or project, please feel free to discuss your ideas with any board member or one of the Pastors.   The Board of Directors acknowledges the generosity of the following people for donations: January 2014 In Memory of Donna Paulson Gloria Werth, Corvallis, OR April 2014 Henry and Vivian Chrostowski, Corvallis, OR     In Memory of Evelyn Kline Hal Dick, Corvallis, OR April 2014 In Memory of Arlys Benson Carol Erickson, Corvallis, OR Millie Babb, Corvallis, OR Joyce Signer, Corvallis, OR Gloria Werth, Corvallis, OR Cy and Cynara Stadsvold, Corvallis, OR
