The Top Hats
The Auxiliary of The Twenty and Four
The Top Hats are the auxiliary of The Twenty and Four. Each Echelon has its own Top Hats organization which is a source of income, and membership in this group varies with the requirements of the individual Echelon. The Top Hats, in most cases, pay dues to the Echelon, and receive a Top Hat membership card. The money raised is used to carry on the programs of The Twenty and Four and the Echelon usually acknowledges the contributions by organizing and presenting entertainment for their Top Hat members and their families.
National Programs
Scholarships
The National organization offers a $1000 scholarship each year to the child, grandchild, or great-grandchild of a current member of The Twenty and Four or to a member who wishes to return to the workplace and needs further education to do so. More details of the requirements for the scholarship can be obtained from a local Echelon member.
