The previous program began operations in 1984 and has supported\nthousands of producers over its 35 years of successful operation. SKLF will be\nable to provide loans under similar terms, with oversight and direction being\ndriven from membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSKLF wouldn\u2019t have been possible without the support we\u2019ve\nreceived,\u201d added Moen. \u201cI would especially like to thank board of directors who\nhave volunteered countless hours towards this initiative and our business\nadvisors from McNair Business Development Inc.
