The William and Catherine Miller
Campership Fund

Bill and Kay Miller - Founders of Hudson County School Employees Federal Credit Union which later became Liberty Savings Federal Credit Union.  Bill was a long time member of the Rotary Club of Jersey City and his two sons - Bill, Jr. and Jim, Sr. - as well as one grandson - Jim, Jr. -  and his daughter-in-law - Adele - are current members of the club.  Another daughter-in-law, Fran Miller, is Past President of the Rotary Club of North Hudson.

The Miller Campership Fund has been established based on grants from the Liberty Savings Federal Credit Union in honor of its founders William A. (Bill) and Catherine L. (Kay) Miller because of their longtime support of scouting.  Bill was active for many years in the 1940's as a Scoutmaster with the Hudson Council, Boy Scouts of America and was a James E. West Fellow of that organization.  Kay was honored by the Pavonia Council, Girl Scouts USA as a "Woman of Achievement."  Both of their sons, Bill, Jr. and Jim, Sr., as well as their grandsons Jim, Jr. and William are Eagle Scouts.  Kay is also a Jersey City Rotary Foundation Fellow.

The fund is set up as a permanent endowment fund with the earnings generated by the fund being distributed periodically.  Additional contributions to this fund are made periodically both by the Credit Union and by interested individuals.  Anyone interested in making a contribution to this fund should contact the Club directly.

The purpose of the fund is limited to providing financial assistance to Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts from Hudson County, New Jersey in order that they might participate in Scouting sponsored summer camp, national, and international opportunities.  Members of the Rotary Club of Jersey City and their immediate families are not eligible.
