Abraham Charitable TVust disburses funds
The trustees of the Malouf and
Iris Abraham 1982 Charitable
Lead Trust met on November 29
to review requests for 2000 distri-
butions. The Trustees, Betty Coo-
per, Malouf Abraham, Jr., Bill Ed
Abraham, and Jay Godwin an-
nounced funds totalling
$118,885.57 to be distributed to
the seven local and area entities.
Acknowledging the Edward
Abraham Memorial Home'* gift
of $30,000, Administrator Rita
Walker stated, "We’re so grateful
to Malouf and Iris for setting up
the trust and that we have been
recipients year after year. It was
a wonderful gesture. Oofie was
very far-sighted. I'm just sorry
that I can't personally thank him
and sorry that I never knew him.”
Abraham died in May of 1994 and
Walker began work at EAMH
that September. “We here at the
Abraham Home have seen amaz-
ing things accomplished as a re-
sult of his vision. Not many people
look that far down the road.”
The Canadian Aren YMCA
received funding of $30,000 from
the Trust. Russell Fry, Executive
Director, said, “The YMCA is
very grateful for the contribution.
Without this, we would not be
able to continue providing all the
great programs and services the
YMCA offers to the community.
The funds will be used for operat-
ing support, benefitting every-
thing from child care programs to
exercise equipment."
The First Presbyterian
Church received a gift of $20,000.
“The grant will be used to reduce
the debt on a building project re-
cently completed," said church
treasurer Beth Briant. 'This in-
volved remodeling and renova-
tion of the existing church
building, and the addition of a
new fellowship hall, kitchen, and
additional restrooms. In return
for the generous grant, an in-
scribed, red granite bench will be
installed on the church grounds to
honor Malouf and Iris Abraham.
We very much appreciate the
Trust's generosity.”
High Plains Public Radio was
granted $5,000 for the capital
campaign to install an 800’ tower
south of Spearman, which will
broadcast the new FM sta-
tion—89.5. In operation since
1980, HPPR out of Garden City,
Kansas currently serves resi-
dents of western Kansas, portions
of southeastern Colorado, the
Oklahoma Panhandle, and Ama-
rillo. The new tower will expand
its coverage to include Hemphill,
Lipscomb, Ochiltree, Roberts,
Hansford, Carson, Gray and
Wheeler counties. “We appreci-
ate this boost for the opportunity
to bring National Public Radio
and its stimulating programming,
in-depth news, and quality classi-
cal, jazz and folk music to the
northeastern part of the Panhan-
dle,” said Project Director Skip
Mancini.
Jay Godwin, who accepted the
$8,000 contribution to “The Old
Mobeetie Texas Association and
Old Mobeetie Jail Museum,”
stated that the funds will be uti-
lized in the permanent exhibit and
towards capital improvements.
The exhibit emphasizes the Old
Mobeetie history as the oldest
Anglo settlement in the Texas
Panhandle, as well as the last mil-
itary fort installation in the West,
Fort Elliott, located nearby. Also
in progress is a study of methods
for the preservation of the
122-year-old flagpole at the site,
which is the only remaining flag-
pole of its kind in the United
States. “The museum’s endeavors
tie in directly with the increased
interest—including that on a na-
tional level—in the historic sites
of the Red River Indian Wars of
1874,” said Godwin. “And to the
efforts of the developing Prairie
Rivers Initiative, which empha-
sizes nature tourism and other
economic development in the
eastern Panhandle.”
Rachel'» Little House received
$15,885.57 this year. Little House

Food distribution to qualifying families of Hemphill County will be
Thursday, December 14, at Hemphill County Exhibition Center from
10 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Among items to be given this month are canned
fruits, canned vegetables, pastries, breads, eggs, dry cereals, rice, and
other packaged foods. Volunteer workers are needed to help box the
items for distribution. Work begins at 8 a.m., according to Wayne
Baker, Agency Director. #49
Immunization clinics offering vaccines that give protection against
several childhood diseases are scheduled for December throughout the
Panhandle. These vaccines offer protection for the following childhood
diseases: polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, ru-
bella, Haemophilia influenza type B, and chicken pox. A charge for vac-
cination will be assessed based on family income, family size, and the
ability of the individual or family to pay, however no one will be turned
away if not able to pay. Additionally flu shots will also be available.
Tuesday. December 12, Allison at Allison School, 10 am-1 pm; Monday,
December 18, Miami at Miami School, 10 am-12 noon, 1-3 pm. #49
Director Alice Bentley outlined
how their gift will be used. “We
are so appreciative and will prob-
ably invest the money for use with
program expenses," she said. One
future project on the list of Little
House needs is the expansion of
the kitchen.
Dr. Malouf Abraham, jr. re-
viewed the Main Street Project,
“The Comer, ” for which the Trust
allotted $10,000. The beautifica-
tion project at the intersection of
2nd and Main will provide a much
needed parking area, and will in-
clude a 17-foot wide planting strip
with cottonwoods, sumac, and
other native plants. “A lot of prop-
erty that is visible along the high-
way, we have no control over,”
said Abraham. “If we focus on the
places we do have control of—and
make this corner really beauti-
ful—then others will follow.”
The Charitable Trust was or-
ganized in the Fall of 1982 and has
made similar contributions each
year since to many worthy pro-
jects throughout the area.
“It is noteworthy that the re-
cipients for this year continue to
be local organizations which are
providing valuable services to
many of our friends, neighbors
and children of the community,”
stated the Trustees.
