Overview
The
Widow's Fund for the NCATA was established in the 1950's with the
first payment occurring
in 1951. It was
established through the efforts of H.G. Johnson and "Dad"
Durham.
The
purpose of the Widow's Fund originally was to provide a small
insurance policy for the spouses of agriculture teachers.
The first assessment was $3.00 with the only increase
occurring in 1959. The
current assessment fee is $5.00.
There have been five treasurers of the NCATA Widow's Fund: Fred Hunt, Wayne Proffitt, Bill Fouts and Gwen Clark. The current treasurer is David Cress from Rowan County.
The
Widow's Fund provides financial assistance for the beneficiaries of
its members. New
members are needed to continue this service to our fellow teachers.
On
average, the total cost of the assessments per year ranges from
$40.00 to $50.00. These assessments may be paid in advance.
What better way to spend this money than on teachers in our profession!
