 another fund and provided further that the person has not taken 
 a refund from any one of these three funds since the person's 
 membership in that association has terminated.  The annuity from 
 each fund shall be determined by the appropriate provisions of

 least three years' membership service or three years of 
 allowable service in the respective association shall not apply 
 for the purposes of this section provided the combined service 
 in two or more of these funds equals three or more years.
