The report showed high participation rates were also found in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Delaware. Alaska had the lowest participation.

MCC Announces Donation to Benefit Glenn Miller Project

Morgan Community College Foundation officials say a donation from the The Dahms-Talton Foundation is an early Christmas gift. The bequest of 10-thousand dollars in stock is earmarked for the Glenn Miller Music Project. According to an MCC news release, the gift will help build the $200,000 endowment to sustain the project for years to come. Since its inception last spring, the Glenn Miller project established an MCC Jazz Ensemble and produced a CD entitled "Home Grown: The Music of Glenn Miller." The CD is being used by the Fort Morgan Area Chamber of Commerce to promote Morgan County.
