Woof Cabot!
All the homeless cats and dogs at the True Friends Animal Welfare Center serving Susquehanna and Wyoming Counties wanted us to send a yip and a meow of thanks to Cabot Oil and Gas for their recent $7,500 donation to the True Friends Endowment at The Community Foundation of the Endless Mountains. Cabot held a fundraising event that raised $15,000 to be split between this endowment and the Make a Wish Foundation serving northeastern Pennsylvania. Kids and pets; it's a great combination. Thanks Cabot. Those wishing to further enhance the True Friends Endowment can send their tax-deductible donations to The Community Foundation to help ensure our region's homeless animals will have a warm bed and a meal not only tonight, but for years to come.
The Morgan Potter Memorial Fund administered by The Community Foundation of the Endless Mountains recently provided a $500 grant to the Montrose Area School District to assist with the expenses of the Future Business Leaders of America Club at the High School. Morgan was an alumnus of Montrose High School who passed away unexpectedly when he was attending Ithaca College. While at Montrose he was involved with the Key Club, Student Council, Drama Club and the School Band. He had a keen talent for operating the sound system and lighting for school concerts and plays. He also designed the cover of the 2002 High School yearbook and was known for his infectious school spirit. 
John and Rachel Stahl, of Montrose presented Abby Onyon, Susquehanna County 4-H Extension Educator with a check in the amount of $875 on Saturday, April 27, 2013 in honor of their late son, Matthew Waldron Stahl. The check is a result of a perpetual memorial fund established in Matthew’s name with the Community Foundation of the Endless Mountains. Matthew Waldron Stahl, 8, was an aspiring future 4-H dairy member whose life was taken abruptly from his family and friends on October 29, 2012. Matthew was born June 15, 2004. He was a little brother to Michayla and big brother to Jack. From the moment Matthew entered the world, he was a little ball of energy that smiled constantly. When he was a toddler, he loved to make people laugh. As he grew so did his energy! His smile and giggle became undeniably infectious.

It is with sadness that The Community Foundation of the Endless Mountains announces the recent passing of one of our founding Board members, Charles Randall of Silver Lake. Charles and his wife Hedi were early supporters of The Community Foundation and were present at the formal establishment of The Foundation in 1998. They would eventually endow the Jonathan Randall Memorial Fund in memory of their son which provides support to the Susquehanna County Free Library and Historical Society Association. Charles was born in Johnson City, NY and spent many summers as a boy at his family’s cabin at Silver Lake. After service in the Army during the Korean War and then working for General Electric and Honeywell in locations throughout the country and indeed around the world, Charles and Hedi returned to Silver Lake in the mid-1980s and both of them became ardent supporters of many civic projects in this region including Salt Springs State Park, the E.L. Rose Conservancy, the Silver Lake Fire Company, and the Susquehanna County Library. Charles and Hedi are members of The Community Foundation’s Legacy Society in support of The Friends of Salt Springs State Park. Many will also fondly recall Charles’ depictions of the local landscape during the annual Artists’ Studio Tour each autumn. Our condolences go out to Charles’ family while we also honor his and Hedi’s forethought and generosity for improving the quality of life in our region.
