Osmond Community Foundation organizes; OVR issues challenge

OSMOND — On Tuesday, Aug. 14, a group of Osmond residents gathered for an inaugural meeting of an Osmond Community Foundation. Greta Leach and Kara Weander-Gaster of the Nebraska Community Foundation (NCF) were on hand to explain the statewide foundation and how affiliation with NCF will benefit the local organization.
