I
hope you are all enjoying your
summers despite the heavy
rains we've been experiencing
throughout the five-state area. Our
thoughts are with our Clovia sisters
and the families and neighbors who
experienced flooding that impacted
their homes and livelihoods.
Money Matters
Under the leadership of Kathy
Michaelson '73, Clovia
Foundation Board of Trustees
for the Beta Chapter of Clovia
Education and Scholarship
Funds has informally agreed
upon a partner to manage our
investments once our 501(c)(3)
status is granted by the IRS. The
application was submitted in early
September 2023 and generally
takes 8-10 months for approval,
so we anticipate hearing back no
later than August. Once received,
we can quickly open an account
to transfer our current investments
from the University of Minnesota
Foundation. Stay tuned for updates
in the monthly Clovia Short Clips!
Mark your Calendars
Founders' Day is slated for
Saturday morning, October 19,
via Zoom. The start time is TBD.
We alternate between in-person
and teleconferencing meetings
each year to provide access to
sisters who cannot travel to an in-
person meeting. Once technology
improves, we plan to offer a
quality hybrid meeting option.
Clovia Love,
Maureen Meier '75
