Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
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.
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.
