History
The Ginny Levine Fund (GLF) was started by Old Shoaler Robert J. Levine in memory of his wife Ginny, who loved STAR and made many contributions to the island. The Levines attended All Star I and II for many years and were chairs of the All Star II conference 1975. Through the years Bob and Ginny were concerned about the number of people who, because of financial difficulties, could not attend a conference. Bob is delighted that the Ginny Fund has helped and will continue to help many Shoalers enjoy the Island for years to come. The GLF is supported by an art auction held during the conference and by donations from All Star II attendees.
Administration
It is the policy of the All Star II Corporation to provide a means by which individuals with limited financial resources can participate in the Star Island experience. The Corporation delegates the members of the “Ginny Levine Shoalership Fund Committee” to determine the qualifications for financial assistance by following an adopted set of procedures ( i.e. the Financial Aid Application Process). The guidelines and the process shall be set by and approved by a consensus of the committee. The small committee consists of former chairs of the All Star II conference.
