Paul Londe Education & Scholarship Fund
Paul Londe believed each person could make a difference. He was a dreamer, an exceptional listener and wished the best ideas to prevail no matter the source. He was always there to lend a helping hand and anything he demanded of others, Londe would be first in line to take on himself if he had the time. He was convinced that improvisational skills were necessary for a life well lived. Leading by example, he believed that teaching and developing creative thinking in young people would guarantee us all a better future. He was kind, generous and optimistic. When good-byes were said for adventures near and far, there was always a hug and a smile.
The Paul Londe Scholarship and Educational Fund will enable Emerald Coast Theatre Company to offer classes and production opportunities to more children in Okaloosa, Walton and Bay Counties.
Thank you to Sherry Londe for starting this fund with a generous donation.
