Sycamore Adopts Monthly Distribution Plan for Chest Funds
Sycamore members approve a distribution plan for the Community Chest Fund with seven charity agencies receiving one twelfth of their annual allotment each month. The fund year runs December 1 to December 1, 1929, with statements mailed on the 15th of every month. Subscribers are reminded of due payments and a recent drive raised over $700 through women’s club canvassing, aiding the campaign. Red Cross is excluded as it has met its quota.
