The 2014 Class of the
Warren County Leader-
ship Institute (WCLI) has
announced the creation of
the Warren County Trails
Endowment Fund.
Each year, the WCLI
class selects a project in the
community, vhich class
members work on to-
gether, and this year the
class chose to develop this
endowment as a long-term
option for maintaining the
more than 35 miles of trails
throughout the county. In
addition to normal wear
and tear, damage from a
single storm can cause a
washout of an area of trail
that puts a strain on the
maintenance budget. The
class hopes the endow-
ment will ease this strain
on the budget.
The endowment is a
partnership with Warren
County Philanthropic
Partnership (WCPP), ari
affiliate of the charitable
foundation Community
Foundation of Greater Des
Moines, which allows do-
nors to take advantage of
the Endow Iowa tax de-
ductible benefits, a 25 per-

portation for riders who become too tired to return to
the Brickhouse, the youth council will help with the
auction and signage and the WCLI class will also help
with the auction. Proceeds from the registration and the
auction go toward local service projects, including the

nance costs on the county's trails.
