Ahrens Foundation: ‘Filling a Chair’
Grinnell Herald Register, December 12, 2005
In honor of their being named “Outstanding Corporate-Foundation
Philanthropist” by the Central Iowa Chapter of the Association of
Fundraising Professionals last month, the chapter presented the Claude W.
and Dolly Ahrens Foundation with a painting commissioned from
Roosevelt High School student Theresa Larew. Seated in front of the
donated picture below is Julie Gosselink, President and CEO of the
foundation; Larew, the artist, is pictured directly to the painting’s left.
Board members and staff include, from left, Chad Ahrens, Shannon
Fitzgerald-Schultz, Susan Witt, and David Clay. “My inspiration for this
piece was the idea that a position needed to be filled,” said the artist. “The
Ahrens Foundation gave so much and filled this vacant seat. With hard
work and giving of your resources, wonderful things can happen.”
