Angel Fund

“When we distributed our financial . . . budget, some of you asked me to describe the ‘Angel Fund.’

“Late last year, the executive recognized that on occasion, a member may suffer a temporary financial setback, but that should not stop him from participation in all of the chapter’s activities. We felt it was better to anticipate such a need rather than react to it.  So, $300 of the chapter funds were set aside to help defray costs for a member who has unexpectedly found himself ‘caught short.’”
