Tricia Wagner, from left, of McCook Community Foundation Fund Advisory Committee, presents a $5,450 check to Beth Siegfried, director of the Heritage Senior Center and McCook Mayor Linda Taylor, at the McCook City Council meeting Tuesday night. The money will go toward an oven that Siegfried has identified as a need for the center. Wagner said during the Covid-19 pandemic, the senior center made and distributed many more meals than usual. Ronda Graff of the MCFF said the grant is one of three given to the city, with a recent donation covering the cost of all admittance fees for the first year the new outdoor swimming pool is open and $5,000 to cover the cost of training lifeguards at the YMCA.
