RE: Sentry Funds, Inc.
Registration Nos. 2-34038; 811-1861
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Sentry Funds, Inc. (the "Company"), in
lieu of filing the Company's current Statement of
Additional Information pursuant to Rule 497(c) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), we are hereby providing you with notice in
accordance with Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act
that the Statement of Additional Information that would
have been filed under Rule 497(c) of the Securities Act
would not have differed from the Statement of Additional
Information which was contained in the most recent
amendment to the Fund's Registration Statement (i.e.,
Post-Effective Amendment No. 37 to the Fund's
Registration Statement on Form N-1A). If you have any
questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate
to call me.
Very truly yours,
Godfrey & Kahn, S.C.
