Personal note from Matt’s Family

An option is to donate to the Woodland Community College Foundation. Donations to the Foundation would be appreciated as Matt taught at WCC for over 32 years and he was involved in quite a number of activities at WCC. A scholarship in Matt’s honor is being developed for future WCC students. http://weblink.donorperfect.c…

The other option Matt would love is for any donations to the California Native Plant Society (CNPS). Matt’s dad was a lifelong flower identifier and Matt loved native wildflowers.
