Mayflower continues to be active in CONCERN, INC. The organization came into being because of similar interest and concern to provide good and affordable housing for handicapped and elderly low income persons. Big Sky Apartments was built in 1966 and Prairie Tower in 1978. Both are under HUD regulations. The properties are managed by a private management company, but Board members meet monthly to set policy and monitor the implementation of these policies. Current Mayflower members on the board are Jessica Stickney, Marianna Hansen, Dee Dee Chiesa, Bob Jurovich, and Lucille Leuschen. www.step-inc.org/index.php?id=5 - or WWW.medamembers.org

GARRISON ART AWARD For over 33 years the church has awarded a scholarship to an art student in memory of Dr. William Garrison. This award encourages students to be creative and to work “outside of the box.” The award provides members and friends an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the different forms of art. The art is on display and available for purchase. Dr. Garrison was a founding member of Mayflower and a long time faculty member and head of the Psychology Department at now MSU-B. This year both Rocky and MSUB have pulled out of the program. Because of the time it takes to organize the A ward program it is schedualed in the fall this year.
