Fund Raising:
$25 was received in October from a repeat donor.
While this is very much appreciated, the lack of donations in
general is truly hurting our ability to reach our $25,000 goal!
Current total donations are $19,397, with a total of $18,522 in
our bank account after last year's IRS filing deduction.
The total number of donors remains at
182, still a very small percentage of nearly 2,000 HixNews readers!! Donations are only 9% of
our readership!!!
If you have yet to donate and can spare as little as $10 for this
worthy cause to recognize your fellow alumni who served our Great
Country, we can still achieve our needed goal of $25,000. Remember, all donations are
tax deductible. Just follow
the simple instructions below. Your
generosity will be very much appreciated. Donation checks should be made out to: And should be mailed to: Hicksville 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. $3,400 was raised in
the remaining 3 months of 2014, $6,200 in 2015 and $8,300 in 2016. If we
can raise an additional $7,100 this year we will achieve our final goal.
So far, however during the first 10 months of 2017, we have only
raised $1,475, way behind the rate needed to complete the Project. Recent Accomplishments: ·
The Hicksville Fire
Department held their yearly golf outing in September and promised a
donation from their proceeds to the Memorial Fund.
Bill Walden needs to follow up on this, as a new donation from
them has yet to be received. ·
Our bank very recently
submitted a list of questions regarding the HixNews website, which need
to be completed and submitted back to them to insure website security
and conformance with bank requirements.
Once completed, a website link in HixNews will make credit card
donations possible and easy to accomplish. ·
Overall Memorial design
sketches have been made and must be finalized.
Work remains in progress to determine the granite and stone
supplier we will use for the Memorial's construction. The
Confirmed List of Names remains at 1,911.
No additional progress has been made on the missing data for many
names. 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, or have reviewed the qualifications
before and want to remind yourself of them, please check a January, 2015
or earlier issue of HixNews by

section on the website. Here's what we need from each person reading this update to do: Please
