Tribute Fund

The KGC Tribute fund was established in 2018 as a way to honor clubs, members or individuals.  A framed list is posted at the council house and tribute fund thank you cards are mailed out to the donors.  Tribute funds are used exclusively for landscaping the council house as determined by the tribute fund committee.  Any amount may be given and it is a wonderful way to show respect and make the council house grounds beautiful.
