· We have just found out that the bank had misplaced a couple of deposit slips from people that had made memorial contributions to the SPY’s Scholarship Fund. One was from a year ago and the other was from October.
We wish to belatedly acknowledge these donations that were from Phil & Peggy Heinze in memory of the following:
Keith Heide
Larry Steward
Paul Richards
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and consideration!
Contribution Information
Lately we have had some inquiries regarding how someone can make a contribution to the SPY’s, especially memorial contributions to the Scholarship or Youth Activities Trust Funds. Here are some ways to accomplish that:
· Mail your contribution to:
Sunfield SPY’s
2543 Eaton Highway
Sunfield, MI 48890
· Stop by the Mulliken branch of Union Bank. Tell the teller you want to make a contribution to the SPY’s. They have a special form that they will fill out to capture all of the information and pass it along to us.
· Go to the SPY’s website at www.sunfieldareaspys.com. At the top of the page click on the “Make A Donation” tab. You will be able to make a donation this way using your Pay Pal account

• Did You Know Section: Back in 1922, surveyor J.G. Tierny became the first person to die during the building of the Hoover Dam. In a bizarre coincidence, the last person to die during construction was Patrick Tierny, J.G.’s son, 13 years to the day after his father. A total of 96 people died overall during the Hover Dam construction.
