In Memoriam
George T. Milligan Memorial Fund
On July 14, 2008 one of NCC's founding supporters and our unofficial "secretary", George T. Milligan, lost his courageous battle against cancer--leaving NCC with a large void to fill! George, the ever-helpful voice many of you reached when calling our office was an integral part of our organization. We miss him each and every day, but we take comfort in knowing that he is still ever present and guiding us along our journey. Upon his passing, many of you saw it a natural tribute to memorialize him by donating in his name to NCC, and we thank you. If you'd like to contribute to the fund, please click on the "SUPPORT" link at the top of the page. All memorial gifts will be used for a special cultural program event (still in the planning stage) in 2009--stay tuned for more info.
