MYRA LONG SCHOLARSHIP FUND

MLSF Board Report -December 2024

The Myra Long Scholarship Fund was incorporated in 1999 for the purpose of trusteeship for resources to be used for scholarships and other STEM related and educationally supportive projects in the greater Whittier area. In twenty-five years AAUW past and present members have been successful in reaching the established goals. The elected directors are very grateful to all who have shared their time and efforts with this worthy project.

• February 4, 2025

MLSF committee meets in the Board Room of the First Methodist Church in uptown Whittier, across from Central Park at 9:00 AM.  Parking and entry are accessible, meetings last approximately two hours.

Mr. Chris Lavagnino sent a $2,000 donation in his mother’s memory. Jeanne Lavagnino was a longtime elegant member of the Whittier Branch.  She was very interested in promoting the Arts and Music for young women.

We have received generous substantial donations from the Estates of Gwen Woirhaye, Ellen Larson, Leeba Lessen and Jeanne Lavagnino which will provide more scholarships and activities for the young women and girls in our community.

The Scholarship Committee needs to recruit for some new assistance.

Best regards, MLSF Committee
