Paulding-Putnam donation

The Paulding Putnam Electric Trust’s Operation Round-Up program has granted $5,150 to five organizations for the fourth quarter of 2012. The trust receives money through monthly contributions from members rounding up their electric bill to the next whole dollar. Donations are used to distribute gifts that will benefit people in the communities served by PPE. The Van Wert Area Boychoir received a $500 grant to be used to purchase performance shirts and music. Presenting the award is Trust President Ray Etzler to Boychoir representatives Eleanor Souders and Larry Taylor. (photo submitted)
