The Order incorporated its Charity Foundation and in 1945 in Blairstown, NJ, that Foundation established Camp Golden Chain for underprivileged children of all races, creeds and colors. Members of
Slice genus Slice genus In mathematics, the slice genus of a smooth knot "K" in "S" (sometimes called its Murasugi genus or 4-ball genus) is the least integer g such that "K" is the boundary of a connected, orientable 2-manifold "S" of genus "g" properly embedded in the 4-ball "D" bounded by "S". More precisely, if "S" is required to be smoothly embedded, then this integer "g" is the "smooth slice genus" of "K" and is often denoted g("K") or g("K"), whereas if "S" is required only to be topologically locally flatly embedded then "g" is the "topologically locally flat slice genus"
