Verie Reynolds Memorial:
Verie was a valued member of the West Linn Riverview Lions Club. Her enthusiasm and dedication to serving the community were inspirational. After her passing, the Reynolds family initially funded $15,000 from their inheritance to an account to be used for scholarships in Verie's memory. The Verie Family directed that $500 be used for scholarships each year until the funds ran out. However, due to prudent investment of the initial funds, the account continues to grow even with the annual $500 outflow. West Linn Riverview Lions Memorial: The West Linn Riverview Lions Club also granted scholarships to high school seniors for many years. They had a Scholarship account established and dedicated to provide funds for the scholarships. Individual Club members also had accounts that they decided to dedicate to scholarships. In 2020, the Club was terminated and many of their members joined the West Linn Lions Club. Overview: After the Riverview Lions Club Club termination, the past Club members and the Reynolds family decided to consolidate all their funds into one account to be dedicated for scholarships, now named the Reynold-Riverview Memorial Endowment. The Endowment will be used to contribute to the West Linn Lions Club scholarships, specifically for the Career and Technical Education scholarship. The group intends to fund $500 annually until such time as the Endowment that they established reaches its principle amount so that investment gains from the Endowment can be used to fund a full scholarship. The primary scholarship funding mechanism has been through past members, family, and friends donations. Cash contributions are encouraged through the Lions Foundation of West Linn (a 501(c)(3) organization) with confirmation available for tax purposes. A key component of the scholarship fundraising success has been that every dollar raised goes directly to scholarships. |
Endowment:
The Reynolds Family and past Riverview Lions Club members have established an endowment to provide a permanent source of scholarship grants. As it continues to grow, the investment gains provide 1 or 2 scholarships to be determined when the endowment's principle amount is reached. We accept tax-deductible donations through our Lions Foundation of West Linn, a 501(c)(3) certified non-profit entity. |
2022 Scholarship Details will be posted in the last quarter of this year.
