The
Friends of Gillespie County Country Schools are
raising funds to modernize and restore 12 historic
former schools as community centers in Gillespie
County . These schools were closed in the 1950's
and 1960's and are used as community centers and
maintained by community clubs. No taxpayer
monies are used.
We now need to built
restrooms and wells and repair roofs. We
gladly accept in-kind and cash donations. All
contributions are tax deductable and a receipt
will be furnished.
