Four days after what would have been the 279th birthday of Irish statesman Edmund Burke, a member of the Central Florida Community College Board of Trustees quoted him.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing," Bob Hastings said as he quoted Burke on Jan. 16. Hastings, one of the seven members of the CFCC Board of Trustees was introducing Lisa E. Lombardo, major gifts officer of the CFCC Foundation, to the Chiefland Rotary Club.
Everyone wants quality education and there will come a time when people will be asked to help this effort, Hastings said. He used Burke's words to inspire donors for the future CFCC permanent site in Levy County.
Having just passed its 50th anniversary, the creation of a permanent site in Levy County is CFCC's top priority, Lombardo said.
Jack and Loy Ann Mann donated 15.5 acres as the first step in this project several months ago, Lombardo said, adding that Loy Ann Mann is a former member of the college's board of trustees.
