President Langley gave a Foundation Status Report to the NVMA membership at the noon luncheon on Friday and announced that Dr. Jim Sears has donated the bronze owned by his recently deceased brother, Dr. Gary Sears, to the Foundation. It will be sold at auction next year.  Significant donations have been received to fund a Memorial Scholarship in Gary’s name and the proceeds from the bronze will be added to that fund.  Details about the auction will be determined by the NCSF board of directors.
