Chess Mates awarded Rural Community
Grant
S P O K A N E , WA —
Northwest Farm Credit
Services has awarded Chess
Mates in Heppner a $500
Northwest FCS Rural Com-
munity Grant.
“When I learned that
Chess Mates was awarded
a $500 grant from North-
west Farm Credit Services,
I knew that our chess team,
volunteers and parents were
going to feel the same great
joy and appreciation that
I was feeling,” said Mary
Ann Elguézabal, ELL and
Reading Instructor at Hep-
pner Elementary School.
“We are now able to pur-
chase additional education-
al materials for our club,
which touches a variety of
students and community
members in Heppner. We
strive to have a positive
inluence on our students by
not only teaching the game
of chess but to play with
integrity and honesty. We
sincerely thank Northwest
FCS for their generosity
and support.”
She added that she and
Golden talked to the chess
players for a little bit about
the money and then over-
heard one of the students
say, “Maybe we can buy
two chessboards!”
Since the program’s in-
ception in 2007, the North-
west FCS has presented 527
rural grants totaling more
than $1,047,000.
