Citizens of Polk County, your help is needed as our children’s future is on the line. The legislature has cut the K-12 public education funds on the budget for each of the last several years.

Recently another $700,000 or so was cut for the coming school year.

The community’s help is vital if Polk County’s children are to continue getting the quality education they deserve.

The Democratic Women’s Club of Polk County will hold a fundraising breakfast at Democratic Headquarters Saturday, Aug. 3 beginning at 8 a.m.

All proceeds will go to help purchase teacher classroom supplies.
