ABOUT THE
ALOE INSTITUTE
Profile
The Aloe Institute was established to perpetuate the strong
Clarke family desire to aid society through the knowledge and research
on the Aloe-Vera plant. Rewarding studies have already proven the
effectiveness of the therapeutic value of Aloe, and this foundation
will continue to pursue new avenues and enlarge on the already proven
status.
It serves as a family memorial
to Jess and Evelyn Clarke, Sr. Their strong sense of "family" given to
their children has stimulated their desire to create The Aloe
Institute.
For through this medium they are assured
that the "family" commitment will continue to succeeding generations
in an overt manner.

The values they have lived by and their
strong desire for family projects makes The Aloe Institute a
perfect vehicle.

It is their specific desire that the
board meetings afford an opportunity for exposure to the many facets
of the business world.
Their insight to provide this "family"
foundation will provide valuable financial experience for succeeding
generations, as well as the self-esteem achieved through success. The
decision making process will be a "family" responsibility, involving
their "family" on a regular basis.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FOUNDATION
Our founders Jess and Evelyn Clarke
were very farsighted. They anticipated that encouraging self
sufficiency in their children and grandchildren would present constant
and challenging opportunities.
Remaining true to their intent and
living up to their expectations we continue to operate with the ideals
of our founders in mind.
Pursuing strategies including grant
making and investing concepts, our hope is to strengthen and share
what we learn. The Aloe Institute has engaged in two areas of
interest--Aloe Research, Aloe Education and most recently eye care as both parents had macular degeneration. We have selected programs
and projects that will lead to enriching society through medical
research and education.
