$100 one time gift:

$50 placed in general fund and $50 placed in an endowment fund for the Korean War Educator. The Endowment Fund was started on September 16, 2003. The list below was updated April 14, 2008.

On January 16, 2008, the savings account for the Endowment Fund was closed out at 1st Mid-Illinois Bank in Tuscola.  The entire contents were placed in a six-month Certificate of Deposit with the beginning sum of $2,290.88.  This was done because the savings account was only netting .25 percent interest.  The CD now nets 4.40 percent.

New members are always welcome.  Send your dues to: Korean War Educator, c/o Lynnita Brown, 111 E. Houghton St., Tuscola, IL 61953.
