SPECIAL EVENT OCTOBER 2001 - Raised $10,000 for World Trade Center Victims in NY

In the wake of events on September 11th, the Martin Foundation was asked to help with a fund raising event to provide assistance to the victims in New York.  A new "Special Events" fund was created to provide a means for separating one-time events from the other foundation operations.  On October 11th, a Fish Fry was held in Horseshoe Bay.  Net proceeds from the event were nearly $9,200.  An appeal, to increase our gift to $10,000 was made to citizens and Chamber of Commerce members in the community.   This brought in an additional $1,400 for a total of $10,597.00.  On November 4, 2001, the Martin Foundation sent a check for $10,000 to the New York State World Trade Center Relief Fund.  The balance of the special events fund was transferred to the HSB Assistance Fund.
