2009-10_Report-Bette Leonard Fund

Annual Report
The Bette Leonard Fund Committee

2009-2010
Circus Fans Association of America

This report covers the period from the 2009 Las Vegas Convention to the Grand Rapids Convention in 2010. Membership of the committee was made up of myself (Jack T. Painter) and Niles Calhoun. Also contributing in a major way was Maxine House as a much appreciated undefined participant (consultant? - whatever).

BLF activities for the year were concentrated in the final months when an article was placed in White Tops bringing attention to requests for contributions of money and nominations for "scholarships". The Secretary-Treasurer of CFA receives all funds and accounts for their distribution in her annual Treasurer's report.

One nomination for a scholarship to attend the Grand Rapids convention was received. This nomination of Julius Carallo was approved by the committee. The Chairman contacted the nominee and he accepted. The Chairman then arranged payment for the nominee's expenses and will submit a documented account to the Secretary-Treasurer for reimbursement. A listing of these expenses is attached to this report.

The Chairman has been in conversation with the CFA President-Elect (Maxine House) about the need to renew, revamp, and reorganize the Committee perhaps going back to its original make-up requirements including a definite rotation plan.

The Chairman wishes to express his thanks to Niles and Maxine for their major contributions to this year's activities of the Committee.

Respectfully submitted
Jack T. Painter, Chair
