SEASON OF GIVING — The Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association’s (WCMA) board of directors recently presented a $100,000 gift to the Center for Dairy Research (CDR) during the association’s board meeting in Madison, Wisconsin. Earlier this year, the board voted to invest WCMA earnings from its Championship Cheese Auction in a new, permanent fund at the University of Wisconsin (UW) created to directly support CDR. The UW Foundation-based fund stipulates that CDR Director John Lucey (pictured above, front left) has the authority to make decisions on how to use fund dollars, backed by WCMA’s support for CDR’s mission to provide world-class research, training, technology and education.
