It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Norman Lemcke, who lost his battle with kidney disease on November 15, 2024. Norm was long time board member and past president of the L. Dexter Woodman Family Foundation, who was instrumental in helping us change our organization from a Scholarship to a Foundation, enabling us to expand our giving. Norm's vivacious personality will be deeply missed by so many. To anyone who may be inclined to donate in Norman's memory, please visit https://ldexterwoodmanfamilyfoundation.org/.

This is what our Foundation is all about!

On Thursday, August 22, 2024, we had our annual fundraiser at https://www.decklyns.com/. It was a beautiful night to dine outside on the deck, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding, between the 50/50 raffle and the donation from Decklyn's we raised over $2,700 for the fund! Congratulations to Jeff Sandler for winning the raffle and thank you for donating a portion of the winnings back to the fund. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Pat Shea and his staff for always welcoming us with open arms and the continued support of the Foundation!

Congratulations to our 2024 Clamshells for Scholars winners, Riley Huber, Zoe Elwell, Brett Tardie & Sam Gunsalus were each chosen today as recipients of our $2,500 scholarship!
