Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
The Federal Reserve Board’s campaign to boost interest rates resulted in seven rate increases during your fund’s fiscal year. Yields of Vanguard’s money market funds rose accordingly, enhancing their returns. For the year ended August 31, 2006, total returns ranged from 4.1% for the Treasury Money Market Fund to 4.6% for the Prime Money Market Fund’s Institutional Shares. Each of the funds produced a return that exceeded the average return of its mutual fund peers.
The funds’ competitive advantage comes largely from their lower costs. The table on page 4 illustrates this advantage by comparing each fund’s expense ratio with that of its peer group average. The table on page 5 shows the changes in yield over the year for each fund.
Rising interest rates dampened bond returns
At its August 8, 2006, meeting, the Federal Reserve Board left its target for the federal funds rate unchanged, at 5.25%. This brought at least a temporary halt to the Fed’s two-year inflation-fighting campaign, which had been marked by 17 consecutive rate hikes.
The broad market for taxable U.S. bonds finished the one-year period with a modest return of 1.7%. Municipal bonds fared somewhat better. The yield curve remained essentially flat, with a very small
2
difference between the yields of 3-month and 30-year U.S. Treasury issues, although yields rose modestly at both ends of the maturity spectrum.
Stocks climbed for much of the year, then began to waver
During the fiscal year, stocks climbed steadily through the first three quarters, before becoming increasingly volatile amid concerns over higher oil prices and fears that the U.S. economy was stalling. Indeed, the marked slowdown in the housing market in recent months suggests that the economy may have shifted into a lower gear.
The broad U.S. stock market gained 8.8% for the year, with small-capitalization stocks slightly outperforming their large-cap counterparts. As has been the case for the past several years, returns from international equities continued to outshine domestic stocks. For U.S.-based investors, a weaker dollar further boosted these returns when international gains were converted back into U.S. dollars.
Money market funds’ fate tied to federal funds rate
The rising interest rate environment that prevailed for the year ended August 31, 2006, led to the funds’ highest returns since 2001, when the Fed cut rates sharply to stimulate an economy shaken by terrorist attacks.

The funds’ 2006 fiscal year opened with the Fed’s target short-term rate at 3.50%; 12 months later, the rate stood at 5.25%. Money market funds, with holdings that mature much more quickly than those of bond funds, are uniquely positioned to benefit from rising short-term rates.
Each fund met its mandate to generate superior relative returns, provide liquidity, and preserve principal (the share price of each held steady at $1, as is expected but not guaranteed). The variance in the funds’ returns primarily reflects incremental differences in risk exposure and cost within this group of low-risk, low-cost funds. The Prime Money Market Fund typically invests more than half of its assets in high-quality short-term corporate issues, which generally pay higher yields due to the higher risk these issues carry relative to government securities. Returns for the fund’s Institutional Shares—which require an initial investment of at least $5 million—were enhanced by the even lower operating costs that come with economies of scale.
At the other end of the spectrum are the Treasury and Admiral Treasury Money Market Funds. Both funds invest only in U.S. Treasury bills or other securities backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. government. These securities offer unmatched quality, and therefore lower yields than most other money market instruments. In the middle is the Federal Money Market Fund, which seeks to improve on the returns of an all-Treasury portfolio by investing in securities that—while of high quality—need not be backed

During the fiscal year, the funds’ advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, kept the portfolios’ maturities relatively short. As their short-term holdings matured, the funds were well positioned to take advantage of the higher yields paid by newly issued securities in the period.
The funds have demonstrated excellent long-term performance
The Vanguard Money Market Funds have delivered outstanding performance over the long term, as their cost advantage compounds to impressive effect. The funds also benefit from the investment-management skills of our Fixed Income Group, whose portfolio managers have for 25 years demonstrated an ability to select the best mix of securities matching each fund’s investment mandate.
The table on page 6 shows the average annual returns for the funds and their average peers for the ten years ended August 31, 2006. It also shows the growth of hypothetical $10,000 investments in each ($50,000 for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund; $5 million for the Prime Money Market Fund’s Institutional Shares). In each case, our money market fund would have produced a higher total return than its average peer.
Higher rates shouldn’t change role of money market funds
When interest rates have climbed and money market funds and certificates of deposit look more attractive, investors

can be tempted to overweight these investments in their portfolios. If you find yourself among this group, it’s worth asking: “What in my situation has changed to merit a change in my asset allocation?” We encourage investors to implement an asset allocation plan based on their tolerance for risk (that is, the amount of volatility in the stock market that they can stomach), their time horizon, and their investment goals. Such a portfolio should be broadly diversified among the stock and bond markets, with a small slice reserved for emergency reserves in a money market fund. The Vanguard Money Market Funds are ideal for that portion of your portfolio.
That said, shifting a larger proportion of your assets into money market funds as rates rise can keep you from benefiting from the higher returns expected from stock and bond funds. If you are a long-term investor, we encourage you not to abandon your carefully chosen asset allocation strategy by reacting to the continual fluctuations in interest rates that characterize dynamic financial markets.
Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.
Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report
During the 12 months ended August 31, 2006, the Vanguard Money Market Funds generated returns ranging from 4.1% for the Treasury Money Market Fund to 4.6% for the Institutional Shares of the Prime Money Market Fund. All four funds outperformed the average returns of their peer groups.
The investment environment
It could not go on forever. At its August 8 meeting, the Federal Reserve Board elected to leave its target for the federal funds rate unchanged, snapping a streak of 17 consecutive rate hikes. The decision suspended the chain of events that brought the yield of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund’s Investor Shares from a low of 0.74% in 2004 to 5.11% as of August 31, 2006.
While a pause may not imply the end of the tightening cycle, the number of investors concerned by weakness in the housing market seems to have overtaken those of us more squarely focused on elevated inflation risks. Regional housing conditions are likely to vary widely, but absent a broad national downturn in housing or a rapid escalation in the unemployment rate (currently 4.7%), fears of a housing-led recession appear overdone.
Management of the funds
Despite the Fed’s recent pause, the past 12 months featured a continuation of the rising-rate themes that have characterized the money markets since June 2004. As the Fed tightened monetary policy with seven consecutive 25-basis-point rate hikes during the fiscal year, we kept the average maturities of the Federal and Prime Money Market Funds at the short, or bearish, ends of their typical ranges. This positioning allowed us to reinvest maturing issues more frequently, locking in higher interest rates as they became available.
The Treasury and Admiral Treasury Money Market Funds followed a different strategy. We kept the portfolios’ average maturities in their neutral band. This positioning allowed us to take advantage of the relative “steepness” of the U.S. Treasury yield curve—a spread between shorter-and longer-term Treasury bill yields that reflects the unique supply and demand dynamics of the Treasury bill market.
The two Treasury Money Market Funds were invested primarily in Treasury bills while the Federal and Prime Money Market Funds’ portfolios maintained their customary emphasis on highly liquid securities that offer superior credit quality.
7
Consistent with this objective, we looked for opportunities to enhance the credit quality of each portfolio. For example, when the spreads between Treasuries (the highest-quality securities) and other money market instruments tightened, we added Treasuries to both portfolios to take advantage of the securities’ superior risk–reward characteristics. We also added U.S. government agency securities to the Prime Money Market Fund’s portfolio of highly liquid bank obligations and commercial paper.
The Vanguard Money Market Funds’ strong performances relative to their peer groups reflected not only disciplined portfolio management but also the funds’ low costs. Low costs are an important contributor to investment success in any asset class. In the market for relatively low-yielding short-term securities, however, costs loom especially large.

Prime Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments of companies primarily operating in specific industries, particularly financial services; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in such industries.
The fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and servicing criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may invest in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
4. Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.
5. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, shareholder accounting, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $7,409,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 7.41% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements. FIN 48 will be effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning September 1, 2007. Management is in the process of analyzing the fund’s tax positions for purposes of implementing FIN 48; based on the analysis completed to date, management does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will result in any material impact to the fund’s financial statements.

Performance Summary
Investment returns will fluctuate. All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at www.vanguard.com.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The annualized yields shown reflect the current earnings of the fund more closely than do the average annual returns.

Performance Summary
Investment returns will fluctuate. All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at www.vanguard.com.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The annualized yields shown reflect the current earnings of the fund more closely than do the average annual returns.

Treasury Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3. Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.
4. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, shareholder accounting, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $564,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.56% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements. FIN 48 will be effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning September 1, 2007. Management is in the process of analyzing the fund’s tax positions for purposes of implementing FIN 48; based on the analysis completed to date, management does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will result in any material impact to the fund’s financial statements.

Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3. Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.
4. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, shareholder accounting, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $1,728,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.73% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements. FIN 48 will be effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning September 1, 2007. Management is in the process of analyzing the fund’s tax positions for purposes of implementing FIN 48; based on the analysis completed to date, management does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will result in any material impact to the fund’s financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Vanguard Money Market Reserves, Vanguard Treasury Funds and Vanguard Admiral Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund, Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund, Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Funds”) at August 31, 2006, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as ���financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The table on page 57 illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
• Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that the expenses shown in the table on page 57 are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or account maintenance fees. They do not include your fund’s low-balance fee, which is described in the prospectus (the fee does not apply to the Prime Money Market Fund’s Institutional Shares). If this fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate fund prospectus.

Admiral Treasury | 1,000.00 | 1,024.55 | 0.66 |
1 These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Prime Money Market Fund, 0.29% for Investor Shares and 0.09% for Institutional Shares; for the Federal Money Market Fund, 0.29%; for the Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.29%; for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.13%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

Trustees Renew Advisory Arrangement
The board of trustees of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Federal Money Market Fund, Treasury Money Market Fund, and Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund has renewed the funds’ investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor for the funds. The board determined that continuing the funds’ internalized management structure was in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders.
The board based its decision upon its most recent evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. The trustees considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangement. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.
Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the funds’ investment management over both short- and long-term periods and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than two decades. George U. Sauter, Vanguard managing director and chief investment officer, has been in the investment management business since 1985. Robert F. Auwaerter, principal in charge of the Fixed Income Group, has been in the investment management business since 1978. The Fixed Income Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.
The board concluded that Vanguard’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangement.
Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the funds, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance of relevant benchmarks and peer groups. The board noted that the funds have performed in line with expectations, and that their results have been consistent with their investment strategies. Information about the funds’ performance, including some of the data considered by the board, can be found in the Performance Summary pages of this report.
Cost
The funds’ expense ratios were far below the average expense ratios charged by funds in their respective peer groups. The funds’ advisory fees were also well below their peer-group averages. Information about the funds’ expense ratios appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements sections.
The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees, and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for fund shareholders.
The benefit of economies of scale
The board of trustees concluded that the funds’ low-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.
The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangement again after a one-year period.

Glossary
Average Quality. An indicator of credit risk, this figure is the average of the ratings assigned to a fund’s fixed income holdings by credit-rating agencies. The agencies make their judgment after appraising an issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. Quality is graded on a scale, with Aaa or AAA indicating the most creditworthy bond issuers. U.S. Treasury securities are considered to have the highest credit quality.
Average Weighted Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security.
Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.
Yield. A snapshot of a fund’s interest income. The yield is expressed as a percentage of the fund’s net asset value. For money market funds, yield is based on income earned over the past seven days and is annualized, or projected forward for the coming year.

The People Who Govern Your Fund
The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.
A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals.
Our independent board members bring distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service to their task of working with Vanguard officers to establish the policies and oversee the activities of the funds. Among board members’ responsibilities are selecting investment advisors for the funds; monitoring fund operations, performance, and costs; reviewing contracts; nominating and selecting new trustees/directors; and electing Vanguard officers.
Each trustee serves a fund until its termination; or until the trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the fund’s organizational documents. Any trustee may be removed at a shareholders’ meeting by a vote representing two-thirds of the net asset value of all shares of the fund together with shares of other Vanguard funds organized within the same trust. The table on these two pages shows information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.
