Why I serve on the Board of Directors...

"I was born and raised in the Quincy area. It is a great place to raise a family, and I want it to be an even better place for my children and their children. The Community Foundation is an excellent vehicle to use to accomplish that goal because we can establish permanent funds that can be utilized to maintain and improve those elements of our society that make this region a great place to raise a family."
                                                                  Mike Bickhaus


"I am truly excited about the direction the Community Foundation is taking. I appreciate the opportunity to serve an organization that has and will continue to assist so many nonprofits, benefit future generations, and play a significant role in improving the quality of life in the area. As a lifetime resident of Quincy with many family members in the area, this is extremely important to me."
