Letter to the editor
To the editor:
Tri Kappa week is Feb. 21 through 27.
Tri Kappa is a philanthropic organization existing only within the boundaries of the state of Indiana. Established in 1901, Tri Kappa’s purpose is to bring women into close, unselfish relationships for the purpose of charity, culture and education. Each year, the 146 local chapters join with the state organization to contribute approximately $1.5 million to Indiana charities and students. Tri Kappa is proud to have supported Riley Hospital since 1922.
On the local level, our chapter gives Christmas gifts to each nursing home and Jay County Retirement Center. We award six scholarships to high school seniors, and we donate to 20 community organizations.
As is the case with many philanthropic organizations, 2020 was a hard year for our local chapter. One of our three main fundraising events, the April Bingo, had to be canceled. We also had lower proceeds from fair week. Because of this, we regrettably had to cut back on some of our giving.
We would like to thank those who have supported Tri Kappa in the past, and especially this past year by supporting our annual Terri Lynn Nut and Abbott caramel sale. Unfortunately, our 2021 April Bingo will again have to be canceled. But we hope to see you at the 2021 Jay County Fair.
Jay County is a great place to live and raise a family, in part because of the giving, both financial and of time and talents, of the several philanthropic organizations in our community. Please remember to support not just Tri Kappa, but all philanthropic groups, whenever possible.
