New England Kurn Hattin Homes, Inc., a residential school for underprivileged boys and girls at Westminster, Vermont, has long benefited financially from the National Society and Colony support for its many activities.
Emma Hardy Slade Student Loan Fund provides emergency loans for juniors and seniors having two generations of American ancestry. The loan programs, established at Middlebury College, Vermont; Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts; and Austin College, Sherman, Texas; are administered by the schools.
The Maud Brown Pendleton Endowment Scholarship/Student Loan Fund began in 1935 at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, long called the New England College of the Northwest. The loan fund has provided the means for many students to complete their undergraduate education. In 2018 the first Scholarship, in the field of Education, was awarded.
PATRIOTIC PROJECTS
The USO. Members’ work with and financial support of the U.S.O. originated in San Francisco to serve the many troops going to and returning from Vietnam and even today remains focused on the U.S.O clubs. Recognition of the need to support the overseas U.S.O. clubs used by American servicemen prompted the National Society to broaden its interest in clubs based in Europe and the Far East.
Veteran’s Hospitals. Work of the Veterans Hospital Committee is nationwide and reflects the members’ gratitude to and interest in those veterans who require short- or long-term care. Service and financial assistance are National goals.
