BPW/Maine Futurama Foundation President’s Annual Report

July 24, 2020

BPW/Maine Futurama Foundation maintained an active scholarship program. The Futurama Foundation has helped Maine Women achieve economic self-sufficiency by awarding scholarships to deserving and outstanding women since 1987. We had six scholarships at $1500 each for a total of $9,000. We thank our sponsors the University of Maine Augusta, Kennebec Savings Bank and the Webber Group who have helped us make this possible. Recipients of these scholarships will take their place in the ranks of working women.

We continue to work with the Maine Community Foundation, a statewide non-profit that helps people invest charitable resources in the future of Maine. We sent Maine Community Foundation the suggested amount of $8,000 to fund the scholarships.

BPW Maine Futurama Foundation Trustees met June 15, 2019 for our annual meeting. On November 2, 2019 we held a business meeting, President Myra Chaloult chaired the meetings. The March business meeting was cancelled due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.

The Maine Women’s Hall of Fame in March was cancelled due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, as the governors’ decree stated that no more than fifty people could convene at this time. It was rescheduled for October 17 depending on the outcome of the pandemic.

The scholarship committee meeting was held via Zoom in June.

I would like to thank all my officers and committee Chairs and Members, especially Marilyn Ladd, who had sent out invitations for the Hall of Fame and then had to cancel everything!
