Fund Raising:
December donations totaled $20, with one new donor.
Total donations have now reached $17,942, about 72% of our
$25,000 goal. The total number of donors is now 171,
still a very small percentage of the nearly 2,000 readers of HixNews. After IRS filing deductions reported in
October, our bank account is now at $17,067. With donations still below 10%
of HixNews readership, if many of you who have yet to donate will spare
as little as $10 for this worthy cause, we can achieve our needed goal
very soon. Remember, your donations are
tax deductible. Just follow
the simple instructions below. Your
generosity will be very much appreciated. Donation checks should be made out to: Hicksville Vietnam Era Memorial Project And should be mailed to: Hicksville Vietnam Era Memorial Project An alphabetical list of current
donors appears at the end of this monthly update. We began accepting
donations in October, 2014, upon achieving tax-exempt status from the
IRS. In the 27 months that
have passed since then, donations have averaged $664 per month, with
approximately $3,400 raised in 2014, $6,200 in 2015 and $8,300 this past
year. Raising an additional $7,100 in this new year will achieve our
final goal! As you can easily see from the
above paragraph, monthly donation receipts have once again lost momentum
and any amount you can spare, even as a repeat donor, will be greatly
appreciated. Individual schedules
prevented The Project Team from conferring in January to assign the
tasks that must be completed to have the Memorial stones and brass name
inscription plates prepared and to construct the actual Memorial at the
Jerusalem Avenue site. We
now expect to accomplish this in early February.
One
new name was added in January and the Confirmed List has now reached
1,911 names. We still need
missing data additions for many names, so we continue to need help
from all our readers here!! As
a HixNews reader, please help
us by reviewing both lists when you select the "click here" options
near the bottom of this update. To
save you time, just look for names from your class year and other years
you may be familiar with, as a reference and see if you have a new name
or some missing data on existing names to email to us.
Class years, where known, are specifically shown and missing data
is marked in red, to make it easy for you to see what's needed. The
Unconfirmed List was created to specifically insure we don't leave
anyone behind from earlier class years (the 1940's and 50's) who
served during the Vietnam War Era and deserve recognition.
Please see if you can help us establish if these folks served
during the Vietnam Era (Vietnam Era dates are shown in the "Memorial
Qualifications" section below). Memorial Qualifications:
Overall Qualifications for the Memorial were displayed monthly in
this report for a long time and have not changed.
If you are a new reader, please check a January, 2015 or earlier
issue of HixNews for
qualifications. Here's what we continue to need from each person reading this to
