Congratulations to Indiana for receiving 2nd place for donations per chapter on the IC level. Indiana gave over $5,000 for the 2007-2008 sorority year. Great job!! The Disaster Fund was set up to assist an ESA member whose home and/or personal belongings are destroyed or damaged extensively by one of nature’s causes – fire, flood, etc. Assistance may also be given when a member incurs heavy financial responsibility due to a debilitating illness or accident which involves her or the immediate family who resides in her home and for who she is legally responsible. An active member, Members-at-Large, Life Active members and other applications that may arise out of special circumstances may be submitted and determination of the validity of those claims will be determined by the IC Disaster Fund Chair in agreement with the IC President and First Vice-President-President Elect. The maximum that a recipient can receive is $5,000. It is a gift, and not expected to be paid back by the receiver. States are encouraged to raise money by having fundraisers or giving donations to help with the maintenance of the general account. Seven Indiana sisters received assistance from the Disaster Fund during the 2007-2008 year for a total of $23,000. I am one for setting reasonable attainable goals, so our state goal for the 2008-2009 year is $6,000. Indiana can do this and even more, I know that!! I will have raffle tickets for sale for a Longaberger 2008 Daffodil basket. It includes the basket, liner, protector, and tie-on. Tickets will be $1 each or 6 for $5. I will also have different items for raffle or sale at each of the state meetings (Leadership, Fall, and Spring). Several people received gift boxes at Leadership Conference. Please bring them back to Fall Conference full with your spare change! Pass them around at your chapter meetings to have your chapter members donate their spare change. Stop going to the vending machine and save what money you would have spent and put it in your gift box. Continue to Find Your Wings…Inspire as we raise money for the Disaster Fund!! ESA Love and mine, Lynn Howley Disaster Fund Information/Guidelines
