Cary Chapter Benevolence Fund Living up to Expectations

Fund Continues to Help Members in Need

The Cary Chapter benevolence fund was started in November in 2005 as part of the chapter formation. The goal of the fund was to help members in need with personal or family situations. As of 12-31-06, $2426.00 has been contributed by members. During this same time frame, $768.26 has been disbursed to members in need. There currently is $1657.74 on hand for continued support of members. One of the original goals of the fund was to have each member contribute $2 a month or $24 a year. Since fund formation, 77 members have chosen to contribute at least $24. 42 members have given more than the $24. 2 members have contributed over $100 to the fund. 106 out of 130 members have made a contribution. If a member wishes to contribute to the fund, they may do so through a board member. Members should also let a board member know when there is a need.
