The food gleaned was donated to FOOD Share, a nonprofit organization that provides food for thousands of the Ventura County residents in need. The foundation has provided major support to the University for more than 30 years by awarding grants for challenges, capital projects, general support and annual scholarships. Outstanding Woman CLU student Toay Lynn Foster of Oxnard, Calif., was voted the Outstanding Young Woman of the Year by the Ventura County Commission for Women. This was not the first time the CLU sophomore was honored. In 1994, she was crowned Miss California.
Foster travels throughout the state giving motivational talks to youth.
CLU Regent Frances Prince was also honored during the Salute to Women ceremonies for professional community service. Prince, an attorney, is executive director of Conejo Valley Senior Concerns and has served as a Regent since 1987. 100 Percent CLU's Alumni Board has achieved 100 percent giving participation with all members making a commitment to financially support their alma mater, reported Vicki Arndt, director of Alumni Relations. Arndt also noted that this year more than 300 donors are first-time contributors, a trend, she says, which illustrates the important place CLU has had in their lives. This is the third consecutive year that the Amgen Foundation has made a contribution to the fund.
