The SCHERF CLUB invites
all individuals, companies and organizations who are philanthropically
minded to
become members of the SCHERF CLUB. The club's premier objective and interest is the welfare
and the common good of all people around the world. While our focus is
primarily on the fields of education, health care and spiritual welfare, we're also concerned
about the essential needs regarding food and clothing of disadvantaged
individuals, especially children, teenagers, young adults and the elderly
living in poverty. Our goals are accomplished by e.g. supporting the social
work and missionary endeavors of
MEGAGRACE
Ministries.
There is no prescribed
membership fee. A free-will contribution of any amount either as a
one-time gift or periodically (monthly, quarterly or annually) will qualify a donor to become a member of the SCHERF
CLUB. (Contributions are not tax deductible).
As a special benefit to
SCHERF
CLUB members we offer a 10% discount on all original artworks which
members purchase at theCascada Art Gallery. A large portion of proceeds from sales at our Art Gallery
are benefiting not only the missionary work of
MEGAGRACE
Ministries, but also
a number of well-known recognized charities.
The
Cascada Art Gallerywas also a
contributor to the September 11th Fund,
especially through Ebay's
Auction for America program, which was helping the victims and victims'
families of the September 11th terrorist attacks.
The official SCHERF Coat of Arms
stems from the 16th Century in Europe. It consists of three dark
horizontal stripes on light background. The SCHERF family has been
around for many hundreds of years and it was first found in Austria
where the name emerged in mediaeval times as one of the notable
families of the region.
From Central Europe the family has
spread around the world. Presently, larger SCHERF family
settlements can be found in Europe, in Australia and the U.S. Current
estimates put the number of all direct SCHERF family descendents at
just above 3,000 worldwide.
SCHERF:
German and Jewish (Ashkenazic); from Middle High German.

rare Coin called the "Scherf"
approx. 1570-1621

TO CONTRIBUTE ONE's "SCHERFLEIN"
If someone "gives his Scherflein" as a contribution to something, it
means that he gives a little money or other small gift to a greater
whole.
A "Scherf" was a halfpenny or obol from the time of the Carolingians
(8th and 9th centuries). The name comes from the Latin scripulum
meaning the smallest part of a measure or weight and changed from
scrip, scirp, scerp to Old High German scerpf
and today's SCHERF. Scripulum is the popular version of
scrupulum. In popular speech the expression was applied to small
coins in general.
NOTE:SCHERF Club membership is available to all individuals, companies
and organizations around the world as long as their interest is the desire
