MAPLE LEAF ENDOWMENT FUND REPORT

Greetings Brothers and Friends,
In six days our Fraternity will be 52 years old. Our Scholarship Endowment continues to grow - understandably a bit slower this year.
We have received $2,142 since the onset of our campaign, not counting those of you have promised to help out.
I will continue not publishing your contribution amounts, assuming folks send what they can. Won't you join in our effort?
