When I read a story this week that the Boston school system was providing $50 savings accounts for every kindergartner in that city, I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. Through the newly-established Future Fund at the M&M Area Community Foundation, every kindergartner in Marinette and Menominee Counties is going to benefit from a similar program, and our Community Foundation is among those leading the nation in this effort.
The Future Fund is about hope. It isn't about $50 or about what compound inte...

Country CousinIssue Date: September 19, 2019Shirley Prudhomme Was all excited! Tapped into a weather channel on the web and saw a 10-day forecast that called for sunny skies and warm temperatures for the next 10 days. Looked again. That forecast was for Washington, DC.

I occasionally house and pet sit for two of my siblings who live in the Madison area. I love my equine, canine and feline nieces and nephews; and enjoy the change of pace "living" in a different place for a few days. I dearly love my home in the "sticks" of central Wisconsin and would never want to live anywhere else, but having a few days in the distinctly urban environment of my brother and sister-in-law's home just a block off Lake Monona is fun.
