Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Two new Stalker Speedboards will be placed in service thanks to two grants from the Esther Pfleiderer Charitable Trust.
1st Source Bank, as trustee, announced the grants to the Warsaw and the Kosciusko County police departments last week.
A grant of $4,200 was awarded to each department to purchase the speedboards, which will enable local law enforcement to increase their ongoing efforts to remind those driving in our community that speeding is dangerous.
The Pfleiderer Charitable Trust was established by Esther Pfleiderer to assist charitable organizations in Kosciusko County in improving the quality of life of county residents.
Pfleiderer was born and raised in Warsaw and taught math for 39 years in the Warsaw school system.
She was active in the community serving on the boards of the Salvation Army, Warsaw Community Public Library, Kosciusko County Community Foundation, Kosciusko County Historical Society and the ministries of the First Presbyterian Church. In 1982, she was recognized as Warsaw's Woman of the Year.
Grant applications are available from the 1st Source Bank Personal Asset Management Group offices at 120 S. Lake St., Warsaw. The next deadline for grant applications is Sept. 30, 2004. For more information, contact John Elliott at 268-1207.
