HTC offers community grant program

Halstad Telephone Company recently introduced its Community Co-operation Grant Fund to assist with projects in HTC’s service area.
Projects eligible for the grant program “sustain and enhance life, safety and growth of a community,” according to HTC.
Grants through the program are available to bona fide community organizations for projects of more than $500 for 2008. Projects must primarily benefit people who reside in the towns of HTC’s service area, namely Halstad, Shelly, Nielsville, Climax, Bygland and Fisher in Minnesota and Hillsboro, N.D. 
“We are looking forward to the opportunity to help the residents in our service area grow and enhance their facilities, organizations and townships,” said Ron Laqua, CEO of the Halstad Telephone.
“Groups in our area always have a need for donations and, as an established business of the Red River Valley; we look forward to helping our service communities.”
The grant program will not replace or include small donations HTC already offers on an individual basis separate from the grants.
