Meet CCF Committee Member: Peter Heydlauff. Several years ago Peter was introduced to CCF by Anne Mann and welcomed the opportunity to become involved. “Anne reached out and explained what CCF is about and asked if I’d like to be a part of it. Being involved with an organization that serves the community is rewarding. It’s important to be part of making the community an even better place.” The Chelsea Community Foundation is guided by an advisory committee of civic leaders who live or work in Chelsea. They are responsible for fund development efforts and serve as advisors for the grant applications that are submitted.
