    KBD 10: Davis Organizes Quake Victims' Self-Help

    KBD 10: Davis Organizes Quake Victims' Self-Help Katharine had taken a long-postponed, much-needed vacation away from Bedford and was in the resort town of Siracusa (Syra- © cuse), Sicily Dec. 28, 1908, when a major earthquake hit the nearby Messina region. Most vacationers packed their bags and fled but Davis did just the opposite. She unpacked all her gar- ments that could be ripped into bandages, rushed with them to the nearest medical facility and began helping the injured people who were brought in or straggled in from devastated areas. After long service in the hospital, she took a break but saw on the streets a social problem going unaddressed. Hundreds of quake refugees were wandering about homeless, with no shoes and no work, with little clothing and less hope. Without portfolio, she persuaded the mayor to open a vacant building and to get her sewing machines. Davis recruited homeless women to sew simple clothing for themselves and other refugees. She organized a group of cobblers to make shoes. At first, Davis paid the seamstresses and shoemakers modest wages out of pocket. Similarly, she set up work gangs of adult male refugees repairing and building roads and simple houses. Not only were clothes, shoes, shelter and roads needed on an emergency basis, but the quake victims needed pur- poseful activity to prevent their distress turning into paralyzing depression undermining their will to recover. When her own funds ran out, she collected contributions from the few remaining Americans and from friends abroad. For months, she ran a vast emergency enterprise of employment, re- lief and reconstruction.
  • Primary Share Account $5 Minimum Balance FAQ

    Primary Share Account $5 Minimum Balance FAQ

    Primary Share Account $5 Minimum Balance FAQ In order to be considered a member in good standing, MCU members must maintain a minimum $5.00 balance in their Primary Share account at all times. Beginning Wednesday, December 11, 2019, if a member does not have the minimum $5.00 balance in their Primary Share account, MCU will transfer $5.00 from any available balance in a member’s other MCU accounts and place the $5.00 into their Primary Share account. 1) Why was $5.00 removed from my account? In order to remain a member in good standing, MCU members must maintain a minimum $5.00 balance in their Primary Share account. A recent review of your MCU account indicated that your Primary Share account did not contain the minimum $5 balance. In this situation, MCU collects the $5.00 from any available balances you may have in other MCU accounts. That is why the $5.00 was transferred from your other MCU account into your Primary Share account. 2) Why wasn’t I notified before you transferred the $5.00 from my other MCU account to my Share account? MCU notified current members by mail in July of this year that effective August 20, 2019, we would start collecting and transferring the $5.00 from your other MCU accounts into your Primary Share account if your Primary Share account balance fell below $5.00 and you did not deposit $5.00 into your account. New members were also notified of this change beginning in June. 3) I didn’t receive a letter from MCU about this change.
