1) Part II. The agreement regarding the Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds commenced in 1992, when Judge Sykes began employment as a

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge. The agreement concerns a state pension.

2) Part V, Item 1. The Union League Club of Chicago is a social and civic association with dining, lodging, and athletic facilities located adjacent to the federal

complex in Chicago. The Club offers guest privileges to federal judges. The charge for these limited privileges for January through November, 2020, was $1,642

(full Club membership dues for a member of the same age for 2020 were $4,452). Members of the federal judiciary who receive such Club privileges may not

hold office, serve on committees, or be entitled to vote. Judicial officers with these guest privileges pay for food and athletic services on the same basis as Club

members. Judge Sykes suspended her membership on November 30, 2020, and paid no dues in December.

3) Part VII, Item 3. The Pershing FT Unit 6764 asset is a small inherited IRA, and the mandatory annual distribution for 2020 was suspended due to COVID-19.
