Hi guys, lots of interest in a possible memorial/scholarship fund.
Not to mention a generous and humbling pledge from John.
I've held back for a few days because I was under the impression that
Keith G. was doing some investigating. If you want to take a lead, Keith,
that's fine.
Obviously, I am close to my niece and would be happy to be the contact.
In fact, just got a text that she'll be calling me tomorrow.
I'll update with anything I learn, but here's some things to consider.
Assuming my $25K minimum is correct, with John's pledge, we only need
another $20k, or less than $500 from each of the rest of us. So think what
you want to give.
Start cogitating about how the funds are to be used. I assume we are
going to restrict it to BQs. If so, for fish, phead, sergebutt, zip? If
we give it to a cadet, do they get to keep it each year until they
graduate, or change beneficiary yearly? Are we going to designate it for a
certain thing, like a ring? Or general fund.
Do we want it need based, or simply merit? I assume we will have some
basic performance standards, as far as grades and remaining a BQ.
I await your input.
