On June 19, 2019, Renee M. Couse, the CFFC Executive Director, accepted a check for $7,500 from Bob Shark, Fay-Penn Economic Development Council Executive Director, for the Orville and Ruth Eberly Workforce Development Fund. The fund is held at the CFFC, and the CFFC matched the contribution with $2,500. The fund provides financial assistance to Fayette County residents pursuing technical or trade careers at various Fayette County schools. Fay-Penn raised the money in conjunction with its annual fundraising event.
