PRESCOTT – Members of Prescott’s Tri-Service Club made donations to several local programs and groups Thursday afternoon at the Nevada County Library.

Steve Crow accepted $500 for the Prescott baseball program and the fee for the Tri-Service Club’s team. Glenda Stuart received $200 for the Nevada County Extension Homemaker Council, while Theresa Tyree was presented $500 for the library. Darren Neal accepted a check for $400 for the Nevada County 4-H Club, with Jeffery Williams being presented $330 for Generation Next. Paul Ridgell was given a check for $500 for the Nevada County Depot Museum, and Pat Grimes accepted $500 for the Nevada County Master Gardeners. No one was present to accept a check for $200 for Project Graduation.

The Tri-Service Club has been around since its founding in 1949. The club has two fundraisers annually, a city-wide sack lunch and selling lunches at the Master Gardener’s annual garden and plant show. At this time, there are around 30 members in the club. The club also gives Christmas gifts to those in local nursing homes, Christmas and Easter baskets to the needy and provides coats for those in need.
