Indian Pride Fund Established
The " INDIAN PRIDE FUND" has

The fund was established in an effort
to raise monies to bring the statue

to Powhatan High School
They are seeking funds from private
citizens and local businesses that will
enhance the proposal to be
submitted to the RMA on Friday Jan 29, 2010
Please not these donations are not tax deductible.
Should the efforts fall short, the monies
donated will not be refunded. They will be
distributed toward various student

benefit form these funds if we are

There will be no funding
available to the project from the county
