Abstract

La Crosse Committee on Aging began in 1965 and was a quasi-public entity. In the early 1990s, the organization’s finances came under public scrutiny. The board of directors dissolved the group in 1992.

Other files include executive correspondence, legal documents, newsletters, and materials related to special events sponsored by the Committee. Financial materials include audits (1974-1991), grant information, IRS correspondence, ledgers (1970-1992), treasurers’ reports (1967-1991), correspondence and financial reporting to the United Way, and various tax documents.
