The Salisbury
Civitan Club Charitable Foundation
Is a separate entity set apart from the Civitan Club of
Salisbury. The Foundation's purpose is to accept
and administer monetary gifts under the confines of a 501c corporation. (IE :- A
Charitable Foundation). To enable club members and
others to contribute tax deductible funds, which are in turn used to fund
various scholarships and projects as determined by the Foundation's board,
acceptable by the Salisbury Civitan Club, and lawful under the rules of a
501c corporation.
The Foundation has
over the years accumulated gifts from estates and individuals to the current
total of approximately $178,000.
It is the Foundation's philosophy that only the interest should be used for
charitable purposes, in order to preserve the capital fund.
If you would like to contribute to the SCCCF please contact either Wayne Mullis President, Clyde Young Vice President, Len Clark Secretary, Kenean Smith, or Brent Parks Treasurer.

Pause for Trivia: The Last
Supper
Jesus and his 10 Disciples
While Sue and I were in England in September 2001, we visited
The Holy Trinity Church in our home city of Kingston Upon Hull.
Dating to the 12th century, the church contains this painting, standing
well over 7 feet tall.
There is nowhere in the church suitable to hang it, so it sits on
the floor, atop 700 year-old inlaid gravestones.
This mammoth artwork covered a wall in a small village church in Hessle in East Yorkshire for a couple of hundred years before it
was moved to The Holy Trinity - the largest parish church in England.
So what’s the trivia point you may ask? Well it’s
in the headline. There are only 10 disciples.
The Hessle Church was so small that the frame would not fit, so some medieval
bright spark hacked off the two end believers and chopped the frame from 14
feet wide to 12 feet.

verify the count!
The second photo here is the burial place of The Earl of De La Pole, a 13th century
landowner.
It is a topic of controversy whether the lady enshrined next to
him
is his wife or his mistress.
Other things that never change are the 14th,
15th, and 16th century graffiti carved onto the tombs.
This vault took my interest
because for the first 17 years of my life I grew up on De La Pole Avenue.
In the 1640s Civil War, Holy Trinity Church was used as a gunpowder
store.
William Wilberforce, the leading proponent for the abolition
of slavery in all British Colonies, attended church here.
The organ, delivered in the early 1700s, came from St. Paul's Cathedral - for
which it was too small.
