Texas History Awards Fund
In order to encourage and reward participants
in the DRT’s Texas History contests, the DRT has established a Restricted Fund
named the “Texas

maximum
interest commensurate with safety. Only the annual interest from this fund may be used, and any unused portion
of
the annual interest is to be reinvested in the “Texas History Awards Fund.” The monetary awards shall be presented

The amount of these awards may be increased at the direction of the BOM when sufficient funds
have accumulated in this
Restricted Fund Account.
Each year annual contributions of
$100.00 or more to this fund shall be recognized in DRT’s Annual Proceedings. By the first of
May
(1 May) each year, the Treasurer General shall send one (l) copy of the names of contributors and amounts contributed by
each to the President General and the Fifth Vice President General. She shall send two (2) copies to the Recording
