UKIAH, Calif. – On Tuesday, Dec. 3 during its annual organizational meeting, the Mendocino College Foundation Board elected new officers and committee chairs, set the meeting schedules for 2014 and paid tribute to late Director Albert Beltrami.
The Foundation Board of Directors unanimously approved their slate of officers for two-year terms: Richard Cooper, president; Charley Myers, vice president; Arturo Reyes, secretary/treasurer.
Cooper serves as the president/chief executive officer of Mendo Lake Credit Union, Myers is a retired educator, having served as the Ukiah Unified superintendent of schools, and Reyes is the superintendent/president of Mendocino College.
Cooper praised outgoing President Gary D. Smith for his leadership and accomplishments over the past two years.
Smith becomes the immediate past president and will continue in that capacity for the next two years serving on the board’s executive committee.
With Cooper’s ascension to the presidency, Diane Daubeneck will take over the leadership of the Special Events Committee with Katherine Elliott as vice chair. Finance committee co-chairs are Jerilyn Harris and Charley Myers, land committee chair is Tom Herman and Christy Scollin will continue serving as the chair of the scholarship committee.
The foundation’s four affiliate organizations are the athletic boosters with Director Jay Epstein serving as the liaison; Lake County Friends of Mendocino College with Director Chris Taliaferro serving as the liaison; Friends of the Mendocino College Theatre with Director Linda Chapman serving as the liaison; and Friends of the Library with Director John Goldsmith serving as the liaison.
During the board’s mission moment, both Smith and Cooper paid tribute to late Director Albert Beltrami.
Beltrami joined the foundation board in 2011 and was actively involved in the scholarship and finance committees.
“Al was a true advocate for student success as demonstrated in the creation of his perpetual scholarship which includes an internship component in local government. In 2012 he continued his personal legacy of giving by providing all of the funding for 18 nursing graduates to pay for their NCLEX (state board) examination fees at $400 per student,” stated Cooper.

This will be my last article for the school because I am graduating.
Carlé has meant a lot to me because I have learned more things here than I did at any other school I have ever attended.
I have felt more welcome here than at any other previous school. The staff has helped me to reach my goals.
Carlé has encouraged me to work harder to stay on gold level all throughout last school year and all of this year. I liked staying on gold level because of the rewards I have received for staying on gold level. I have also found learning at Carlé to be exciting and fun.
I would like to give a special thank you to all the staff for helping me. I would also like to give Barbara Dye a special thank you for encouraging me to have a good day every day.
I would like to thank Mr. Maes for letting me take my breaks and use the computer in his classroom during break and lunch.
I would like to thank Angie Siegel for making science so much fun to learn. I would like to thank Alan Siegel for being an excellent advisor, for allowing me to be a part of the media class, for letting me be a part of the mug contest, and for letting me write the Carlé Chronicle every other week.
Caring staff like Barbara, Alan, Maes, Pat, and Angie make Carlé a wonderful place to be.
I would like to thank all the students for all their kindness during the time that I have been at Carlé. They volunteered to help me when I needed it and they are my friends. They have made me feel like part of the Carlé family.
A huge thank you to Guein Bouscal for helping me get the title of prom king. She also helped me to start talking to other students and staff in October 2012. She also helped me to become kind and caring starting on January 1, 2013. Her daughter, Tana, has been a very loving and a very kind girl to everybody, including me. Thank you.
Guein has also helped me to become popular at Carlé High School.
So to happily conclude my last article, I would like to thank all the kind students and staff for making Carlé a great school.
All of Carlé’s students have been very kind during the time that I have been at Carlé. So I would like to say to all of Carlé’s students and staff that I love them and that I will miss them very much.
What Carlé has meant to my family: They are proud of how nice the people are and of how well I have done.
Timothy Mcguire is graduating from Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.
