Congratulations! This is so exciting 🥳
Thank you Susan Smith for pursuing the grant opportunity for DFS Woman's Club from Eglin FCU!
Here's Susan's story -
**
Susan Smith heard from her daughter that Eglin FCU offers grants to non-profit businesses in the community they serve.
It’s an application process and Susan with the initial help of another club member started the process.
Eglin was quick in letting Susan know her application was to be reviewed.
"“From Susan, Cathie Staton, President & CEO of Eglin FCU touched base with me about 3 weeks into the application and said it would come before their Board of Directors at the next meeting. She praised me how professional the application was done. A week or so later, I got the call from Cathie that the board had approved the grant request. I am very proud that at my advanced age "I still had it" as it had been put to me by my son and daughter in law.”"
The approval of the grant was very exciting news for our Club! Susan in her application included the history of the Club and examples of the many ways DFS Woman’s Club helps their community.
Club members came to find at the check presentation that Eglin was very impressed with Susan’s application due to the detailed information it provided about our DFS Woman’s Club.
Many, Many Thank you’s to Susan for taking on this challenge!

*The Club has plans for our Eglin Grant! To start with, secure the building’s exterior, fill lap siding holes, close potential rodent holes, have the entire exterior painted, remove kitchen cabinets and have storage shelves built, replace kitchen and bathroom flooring, insulate pipes under our building if needed. This list is a start and subject to change as needed. We all know how that goes.
Respectfully,
