It’s our way of keeping in touch with our vast membership. Hazel Herring Civic Improvement Grant We offer a grant created by a former National president, Hazel Herring. The intention is to preserve the legacy of the focuses and interests of this National president. The Hazel Herring grant was originally established as an award for a completed project. Since then its focus has changed, with Hazel’s approval, to that of a GRANT to be given to a Branch, or Division project of “improvement” through civic action or improvement through beautification. This is in addition to and separate from the Civic Improvement Award. This will afford all Divisions and Branches the opportunity to fund an important project with Grant money up front.
