NORTH COAST, Calif. – The Mendocino College Foundation has announced the creation of the Elwood Fund.

It’s a new, open-ended memorial endowment fund established to provide scholarships for graduating theater department majors and to supplement the theater department’s operational budget.

They invite you to support the fund today with a tax-deductible gift.

Jim Williams devotedly established the fund and named it after his first principal role, Elwood P. Dowd, in the Mendocino College production of Harvey, directed by Ellen Weed in 1992.

Williams is a retired educator whose life has been enriched by his participation in live theater.

He invites others to join him in providing a long-term sustainable legacy that will help theater majors complete their education while also supporting the ability of the department to provide an enriched educational experience.

Contact Katie Fairbairn, executive director of the Mendocino College Foundation, 707-468-3164 to be a part of the Elwood Fund.
