SUBJECT: Last Call for Those Wishing to Make a Contribution to Become a Founding Member of the Don B. Medley Scholarship
Dear VCCCDRA Retirees,
In mid-October, circa October 15, we will be writing a check to the Ventura County Community Foundation (VCCF) for all receipts of contributions made by retirees for the VCCCDRA Sponsored Don B. Medley Scholarship.
This is one last call for those wishing to make a contribution to become a founding member of this scholarship. (Please use the link for the contribution form provided at the beginning of this post.)
From the reports that Jim Rivera from the VCCF has made to me of contributions made directly to the VCCF combined with the contributions that I have received todate, the total amount is enough now to establish a $1,000 annually endowed scholarship. Please note that all contributors will be receiving a letter directly from the VCCF from information that I will be providing to Jim, acknowledging a retiree’s contribution for tax purposes.
I am humbled by the generosity of fellow retirees and how quickly we were able to raise the necessary funds, actually doubling the amount of our original goal. Almost half of the retirees contacted have made a contribution, and the contribution amounts have varied from $20 to $5,000 (neither is a typo). This just exemplifies that those who contributed gave what they could.
My sincerest congratulations to all retirees who have been able to make a contribution for your grandiose support of the VCCCDRA’s first scholarship.
Rene G. Rodriguez
President, VCCCDRA
