realizes that while some can write a check for $500, others
can not. Therefore, a $100 down payment and the balance payable
over 3 years would be acceptable. The Foundation's objective
is that all who aspire to become a Lion of Pennsylvania Fellow,
should have the opportunity to achieve this honor. The funds
received from the LIONS OF PENNSYLVANIA FELLOWS PROGRAM is
held in a trust fund and the interest derived from that is
how grants are awarded.
