Guild Sponsorships

[Doug Mahard]

Hi Dave,

The CT, USA chapter has a memorial fund that was established before I became
a member, so I don't know the history of how it started.  I could find out
for you if you really want to know.

It is awarded to a member, usually an Associate, every year who has shown
dedication to PTG and the chapter and a willingness to become a better
technician.  The award is $200.00 and is given in hopes that the money be
used to attend a convention but it is up to the recipient as to how the
money should be spent.
