 Second Thursdays Celebration

Second ThursdayEvery second Thursday during the winter months, Prairie Bay donates seasonal Hors d'oeuvres and Cash Wise Liquors donates complimentary wines for tasting. The Central Lakes College Foundation was the selected charity for November 2009 event.

We were honored to have Joan Wiesner, a well know artist from our area and a CLC Alumna, join us during the event for a book signing for her recent publication “Out On A Limb.” Second Thursday






Joan has created an endowment scholarship fund within the CLC Foundation. All proceeds from “Out On A Limb” and Joan’s earlier writings will be donated to the scholarship endowment. Her fund has now reached the $10,000 mark. The criteria for awarding will direct the scholarship to a non-traditional student (25 years and older) pursuing a degree in Elementary or Secondary Education.


Cleo Kuelbs and Jim Olsen entertained a capacity crowd.

A huge thank you to Nick, Matt and the staff at Prairie Bay Restaurant; Mark at Cash Wise Liquor, Cleo Kuelbs and Jim Olsen; and finally special thanks to Joan Wiesner for her generosity to the CLC Foundation.

The first
scholarship from the Steve Schluender Memorial Scholarship Fund has been awarded

The first scholarship from the Steve Schluender Memorial Scholarship Fund has been awarded to Jackson Lippert. A 2008 graduate from Willmar High School, Jackson carries a 3.5 GPA and is in his second year in the Heavy Equipment Operator Maintenance Program.

Steve's memorial fund was created in May 2009, by his wife Wendy, and family. Steve was an instructor in the Heavy Equipment Program on the Staples campus for 26 years and passed away in January 2009 of cancer.

The Foundation continues to receive donations in Steve's memory from his former students and business contacts. Steve had a firm commitment to seeing students attain their dreams of a successful career in the construction industry. He was instrumental in acquiring funding for the program, particularly the west campus shop expansion. The donations represent the great rapport and admiration he had from his students and the industry.

His endowment fund currently exceeds $26,000.00, and in addition $1,500 has been donated by his family to provide immediate scholarship funding for this school year.
