Keep money raised in Genoa in Genoa

EDITOR:

Please refer to your article entitled, "Genoa provides $1,500, museum," Sept. 10, 2010, page 2.

I commend the Town of Genoa for their generous grant of $1,500 to the Douglas County Historical Society. Preserving the history of our state and community is very important, I agree. My concern is for Genoa and its future financial stability. Genoa is facing cutbacks due to our present economy just like everyone else.

Genoa has some very wonderful volunteers who work tirelessly for the town. As a volunteer myself, I would rather see the money we work for stay in Genoa.
