The fund is named after the late Stella King, who was Mackinac Island's lay health nurse for years.

Other prize winners included Donna Ruddle, who received a rocking horse, Smi Horn, Mike Hart, and Dianne Weidner, who each won pictures, Kirk Smith, who won a coffee maker, Carol Rearick, who was the winner of a poster, and S. Hahn, who received a book. A"Somewhere in Time" bag went to Dee Czapek, a Del Sol bag was won by Billy Smith, and a set of miniature dolls was won by Justin O'Keefe.
