Informational Topics: Bobbie Luft, Office Assistant, explained the Fisk Gallup Fund. The Fisk family came
to Winnebago County in 1846 and was the first settler in the town Fisk named for him. They then moved
to Doty Street. The three sons of the family died of tuberculosis at ages of 25, 27 and 20, they also had
two daughters; Francis Fisk Cornish and Almeda Fisk Gallup. The fund established in 1928 was to be used
to help treat sick poor people in the City of Oshkosh. The City's health department had maintained care
of the monies until the move to be included in the County of Winnebago, after that the Oshkosh Seniors
Center maintained and distributed annual funds received. There is no age stipulation. The only stipulation
is that it needs to be a nonsectarian facility. An application is completed and upon review of met
qualifications a decision of how much of funds can be used for said request. Decisions are made between
the office assistant and center manager, if additional questions are needed it would include finance
department and bank handling the funds. At year end if funds are left a decision will be made as to where
the funds will be distributed, by the Parks Director, Seniors Center Manager, and Finance Director.
