Betterment Association
Tremont Betterment Association (TBA) is a section 501(3)(c) non-profit group
that was formed
in 1976 as the sponsoring and steering organization for each
Turkey Festival. The group consists of former Festival General Chairpersons who
wish to continue their interest and involvement with the festival and the
community.
TBA is responsible for setting budgets and policies for the festival and
notably,
for distributing festival proceeds to the Tremont community for special projects
and assistance to organizations that make Tremont a better place to live and
visit.
Since its inception, the Festival has returned over $1,000,000 to the community.
In 2005, in addition to the $44,000 funds distribution, Tremont Betterment
Association provided
a $200,000 jump-start to the new Tremont Swimming Pool
Project. In addition, the group also committed to setting aside $7,500 annually
for future repairs to the pool.
