Contribute to endowed local scholarship in Leadership for ROTC cadets, as able. false true 12334 HISTORY AND LEGACY: Efforts to preserve the history and legacy of Artillery OCS continued In FY2022, with emphasis on the presentation and display of Chapter artifacts for when the OCS Heritage Hall Annex to the Field Artillery Museum is completed. Over 4,000 alumni received by mail or email the annual newsletter and periodic updates of activities and plans. Covid and other matters have delayed resumption of the Chapter's annual reunion since the last one held in 2019. Plans for future reunions or like events are uncetain, but the Board continues to assess this. All history and legacy activities were performed by volunteer graduates and friends of The Artillery Officer Candidate School. There were no salaries paid or employees. Costs related to these efforts, and the storage of artifacts were funded by cash reserves and donations from graduates and friends. 300 300 SCHOLARSHIPS: In FY 2022, The OCS Chapter contributed $300 to the Cameron University Foundation for the Endowed Scholarship in Leadership which the Chapter had established at the university in FY2020. These funds are intended to be used for the benefit of ROTC Cadets enrolled at the University. The Board of Directors identified this scholarship as a priority and plan to contribute as much as prudent and practical in future years. Given the dramatic increase in costs, estimated and incurred, for the Heritage Hall Annex, scholarship award money was substantially reduced for FY2022. The Board of Directors has budgeted $3,000 for FY2023 and hopes that amount can be increased. HERITAGE HALL ANNEX: Bids were let and construction began for the Heritage Hall Annex in FY2022, As were the costs associated with architectural design and engineering, construction costs of the Heritage Hall are carried as a Work-In-Process Asset at this time. The entire cost will remain as a Chapter Asset until Ft.Sill accepts the Annex as a gift from The Chapter to the Artillery Museum, when completed. At that time, the total amount incurred for this asset will be expensed as a contribution to the Museum, and the Finished Asset removed from the Chapter's balance sheet. 12634 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true false true false false false false OK X X RANDY DUNHAM 5803555275 POBOX 33612 FT SILL OK 735030612 X MR RICHARD COBIN Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 COL RET DR WAYNE HUNT Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LTC RET DAVID KENDALL Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LTC RET JOHN MENNING Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MR MENDELL SCHELIN Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MR WILLIAM FORD President 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 COL R HARVEY GLOWASKI Vice President 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MR RANDY DUNHAM Secretary 24.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LTC RET MICHAEL DOOLEY Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 244043 244043 REUNION (postponed) 900099 0 2627 2627 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 246670 2627 300 300 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2867 2867 140 140 0 3130 3130 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PRESERVATION OF ARCHIVES 3026 3026 Printing and Publications 1363 1363 Postage and Shipping 1189 1189 Bank fees/Paypal 619 619 0 12634 12634 0 0 100 125993 621842 322171 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 875 875 0 0 0 0 0 40764 448578 662706 896742 0 0 X 177393 179244 485313 717498 662706 896742 662706 896742 234036 X X false false false X 39953 495040 86933 50557 244043 916526 44293 2600 46893 0 0 0 84246 497640 86933 50557 244043 963419 0 0 963419 332 786 287 304 2628 4337 0 332 786 287 304 2628 4337 0 229 229 84578 498426 87220 51090 246671 967985 0.99530 0.99700 0.00450 0.00270 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 875 875 MEMORABILIA FOR ANNUAL REUNIONS 764 WORK-IN-PROCESS OCS HERITAGE CENTER 447814 448578 Form 990, Part III, Line 3 Increased construction costs associated with building the OCS Annex to the Field Artillery Museum refocused contribution efforts toward funding construction, which greatly reduced our scholarship contributions.
