Each year, many OSSC volunteers spend countless hours working at our several fundraising activities in order to earn money for our Charitable Allocations Fund. The 2005-06 Allocations Committee, chaired by Karin Hagan, met on July 24th, 2006, to determine how the funds earned should be disbursed. On June 5th, 2006, the General Membership voted on and approved the total dollar amount to be allocated.
