Sioux Point Road, Dakota Dunes, SD. Weekend Masses: Saturday, 4:30 p.m.; Sunday, 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. By David Lias david.lias@plaintalk.net A man who has strived over the years to make Vermillion a better place to live was honored Thursday, Nov. 21, by the Vermillion Area Community Foundation. In an event entitled, “Thanks for Giving,” members of the foundation’s board of directors were joined by Vermillion citizens in honoring Young Moore III. The evening’s festivities, held at the Valiant Vineyards, included a meal and program. “Tonight we are here to honor the wonderful Young Moore,” said Michelle Maloney, co-chairman of the Vermillion Area Community Foundation (VACF) Board of Directors. “I don’t know that there would actually be a Vermillion Area Community Foundation if it weren’t for the hard work and financial support and emotional support of Young Moore.” Maloney explained how, the year 2000, the South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) issued a request to try to get something started in Vermillion. “They said, ‘if you can raise $100,000 in three years, we’ll give you $25,000 for your endowment.’ Young was picked to be on the committee and lead the group of community leaders to spearhead the effort,” she said. Maloney said thanks to Young’s help, the foundation did meet its $100,000 goal, received the $25,000 from the SDCF, and therefore began with $125,000. Today, she said, thanks to the continued efforts of Young and others, the Vermillion Area Community Foundation has net assets of over $293,365. The Vermillion Area Community Foundation was established in 2000 for the sole purpose of creating an endowed fund to build financial resources, that aren’t depleted each year and are forever and perpetual, to assist with capital projects that address community needs and that impact and enhance the quality of community life for residents of all ages. Over the past 13 years, a variety of community improvements have been made possible by grants distributed by the local foundation. Those grants have helped the local police purchase new radio equipment, have assisted the Dakota Hospital Foundation with the creation of its Healing Garden, and have made facility enhancements possible at the W.H. Over Museum and the Washington Streets Arts Center operated by the Vermillion Area Arts Council. This year, grants from the VACF have been awarded to St. Agnes School, the Center for Children and Families, the Vermillion Food Pantry, the Main Street Center and the Vermillion Public Library. “I’m a firm believer that you can tell a lot about a person’s integrity, and how TODD’S ELECTRIC SERVICE “The Line To Power” Design/Build • Fiber Cabling • Commercial • Residential Service Calls • Boom Truck with Auger • Trenching Serving the Beresford and Vermillion Areas 1-800-560-2518 1221 Cornell St., Vermillion, SD • 605-624-5642 201 NW 13th St., Ste. 3, Beresford, SD • 800-560-2518 genuine they are based on the stories and the comments that people have to say about them, and I’ve only met Young tonight for the very first time, but solely based on the comments I’ve heard from other people, I can honestly say that I’m very proud to know him,” said Buddy Seiner, executive director of the South Dakota Community Foundation, who traveled from Pierre to Vermillion to be part of Thursday’s event. “I look forward to getting to know him a lot better … Young, thank you very much for all that you have done not only for the foundation but also for this great community. It is so much better because of your efforts and your work.” A program by Deb Christensen following the evening’s meal helped everyone in attendance get to know Young just a bit better.
