The Wilmington Chapter of Modern Woodmen of America partnered with the Clinton County Leadership Institute on a Matching Funds program to support the Leadership Institute program. CCLI held its annual Dinner in the Fields fundraiser on Aug. 10 and raised $15,115.43, and Modern Woodmen matched $2,500 — raising the total funds raised to $16,615.43 to help with CCLI’s programming.
Financial representative Dan Mayo said, “Modern Woodmen is pleased to be able to help Leadership Clinton in their premier fundraising event and support the great work of the institute. Dinner in the Fields is an amazing event, and we are proud to support such a great program. As a graduate of Leadership Clinton 2007 class, I know what it did for Bev and me in helping us to get to know the entire county and all its resources, especially since we were new to Clinton County in 2002. The event this year was held at the Happy Cows Creamery in New Vienna and the weather was perfect, the food was exceptional, and everyone had a great time. We already have August 9, 2025 on our calendar for Dinner in the Fields 2025.”
Leadership Clinton Adult Program Coordinator Raegan Eltzroth said, “Clinton County Leadership Institute relies on relationships and support from local businesses and alumni of the program. Our annual Dinner in the Fields event is a time when we are able to connect all three components of the past, present and future of Leadership Clinton. We are grateful for Modern Woodmen contributions and investment in our organization’s future.”
