Mr. Eric Jochum, 7107 Wilson ldiills Road, said there is a new organization operating in Mayfield Village and all of the Hillcrest communities. Some of you maybe aware of it; it is called the Hillcrest 100. I know Chief Mohr and Chief Dearden are aware of it. It is anon-profit organization. It is recognized by the IRS as a charity but it is for the sole purpose of coming to the aid of our first responders: police and fire and their families in event of extreme financial crisis or emergency through illness or accident. I have some pamphlets I'd like to pass-out. This organization was formed this past year. It is the newest of the 118 organizations throughout the country. It joins organizations that were formed in Shaker and Beachwood in the 1960's and more recently in Solon and University Heights. The Hillcrest 100 and the goals of the organization are enthusiastically endorsed by the FOP and the Blue Coats. We don't duplicate what they do but we like to think that we complement it. It is supported strictly by membership j fees. The way it works is if there is a fire or policeman-a first responder that is in need of financial assistance due to maybe a medical problem in their family, they are able to come to the committee and present an application and then it would be considered. That would be in the form of an outright grant or an interest-free loan. I think it is a very worthy organization; something
