PAGE It • PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13. Ittl HI A Member Campaign Opens Foundation S . ' . Sets Goals At the February meeting, the membership of the M c H e n r y C o u n t y Educational foundation voted unanimously to change the organization's name to the McHenry County College foundation. The former name was used by the group during the initial stages of organizing and locating McHenry County college and during the relocation to the present campus. The foundation has been inactive for several years, but was recently reactivated by interested citizens of the College district and a name change was deemed desirable to clearly indicate the McHenry County college foundation's desire to aid only McHenry County college and its students. The newly-elected officers are president, Bill Carson; vice-president, Carrie Vought; secretary. Lori Huml; and treasurer. Jim Frisch. Specific areas of the foundation's activities have been assigned to members: industry. Pete Christman; business-agricultural. Steve Crnkovich; professional- deferred giving. Jim Militello; cultural. Nancy Turner; student aid. Carrie Vought; membership, Salla Carson; public relations. Jo Anne Wujcik Bill Carson told the foundation members and the audience that the college foundation's goal is the enhancement and enrich­ ment of the offerings at McHenry County college, through the voluntary' efforts of foundation members. He stated that the Foundation will be working to sup­ plement tax dollars, and foundation funds are not spent where tax dollars are required to be spent _ The foundation and college are two separate legal entities, organized under entirely different statutes. Carson reminded members that donations to the foundation are tax deductible, and that donors may choose to give gifts to specific areas of the college program, or they may give an unallocated gift Foundation members voted to set aside a certain portion of unallocated cash gifts for long-term in­ vestment to meet future needs at McHenry County college. They also voted to give consideration to at­ tempting to obtain items on a wish list for MCC developed by the college staff, and approved by the board of trustees. Robert Bartlett, president of the college, addressed the meeting, stating that he was pleased to see a renewal of foundation' activities to diversify the basis of support for the college, to serve as a vehicle for accepting donations, and to augment the services offered by MCC Bartlett concluded his remarks with the thought that the McHenry County college foundation will also function as a liaison between the residents of the College district and McHenry County college, giving guidance to the aims of the eollege in an advisory capacity.
