Excerpt: I
n a down economy, it can be difficult for any business, no matter how charitable it is, to find the extra money for a substantial donation to a worthy cause.

Vince Kent, president of the Fort Atkinson water conditioning company, presented the library's "Foster Growth Capital Campaign" with a check for $2,081.25 on Wednesday, the first of 12 quarterly payments over a three-year period.
