I
have
communicated
with folks
in our
region via
the region's
Yahoo Group,
also known
as the
Southern
Region
List. If
you want to
keep up to
date, you
should
belong to
this List.

Through that
List I have
provided
lots of
information
including
financial
reports for
the Region.
President
Hamza
 |
I also
held a
Regional
Meeting
at the
Hidden
Peak Cat
Club's show
in
Timonium,
Maryland,
on
August
15th. It
followed
a
Townhall
Meeting
conducted
by CFA
President
Jerry
Hamza.
At this
meeting
Karen
Boyce
provided
an
update
on the
2011
Annual
on
behalf
of Susan
Henry &
Donna
Thompson
who
could
not be
present.
Their
report
is in
the
"Files"
section
of our
region's
Yahoo
Group. I
hope to
hold
Regional
Meetings
throughout
the
Region
to give
you a
chance
to ask
questions
and get
information.
Regional
Finances
We
provide
monthly
Regional financial
reports which
show money
taken in
and
money
spent.
I send
out a
post on
the SR
List
when
they are
available.
They can
be found
in our
region's
Yahoo
Group
"Files"
Section.
If you
have
further
questions
after
reviewing
these
reports,
please
contact
our
Regional
Treasurer,
Graham
Stevens, who
will be
happy to
answer
your
questions
or
explain
something
you
don't
understand.
Increased
Fees
Please
note
that
effective
12/01/10
the
surcharge
on
entries
at our
shows
goes
from $1
per
entry to
$2 per
entry.
Also,
the
insurance
fee has
been
increased
from
$15/year
to
$40/year.
Thus,
the 2011
dues/insurance
that
clubs
pay to
CFA is
now
$120.
If your
club
paid
their
2011
dues
prior to
the
Board
vote to
increase
the
insurance
fee,
that is
they
were
received
prior to
8/20/10,
the
increase
is
waived.
Show
Rule
Reminder
At the
Board
Meeting
held on
June 27,
2010,
the
National
Show
Scheduling
Committee
was
abolished.
Show
Rule
12.03c
still
requires
approval
of the
Regional
Director
when a
club
wishes
to
change
their
date or
move to
a
different
city.
If the
Regional
Director
has no
problem
with the
date/city
change,
the RD
then
needs to
check
with
neighboring
Regional
Directors
to see
if they
might
have a
problem
with the
request.
I
recently
approved
a change
of date
for
Platinum
Coast CF
in
southern
Florida.
Starting
in 2011,
they are
moving
from
July to
the 2nd
weekend
of
November.
2011
Annual
Meeting
Capital
Elite
Pin
 |
As you
know, we
are
hosting
the 2011
Annual
in
Reston
VA, near
Dulles
Airport
in
suburban
Washington
DC. For
a
variety
of
reasons,
there is
a lot of
interest
in
attending
this
year's
Annual,
so we
expect
more
delegates
than
seen at
recent
Annuals.
Annual
co-chairs
Susan
Cook
Henry &
Donna
Jean
Thompson
have a
great
group of
volunteers
from
around
our
Region
who are
toiling
away to
make
sure
this is
an
Annual
of which
we can
all be
proud.
We have
a number
of
fund-raising
plans for
the
year.
One of
them is
the
purchase
of
Capital
Elite
pins.
There
are only
100 of
them for
sale and
they are
$100
each.
They are
selling
well and
we
anticipate
selling
out long
before
the
Annual.
If you
are
interested
in
buying
one,
contact
either
Karen
Boyce or
Donna
Jean (
email
addresses
below).
For
other
fundraising
ideas or
ways you
can
contribute
as a
club or
individual,
refer to
Karen
Boyce's
fundraising
letter.
You can
even use
PayPal
for your
donations/purchases
of any
kind.
Flickr Regional
Photos
Each
month we
upload
photos
from our
shows
of our
exhibitors,
judges,
etc. to
our
Region's
own
Flickr
site. I
try to
upload
new
photos
at the
beginning
of each
month.
We
placed
75
photos
there at
the
beginning
of
August
and
another
set will
be added
at the
beginning
of
September.
To see
them,
just to
go the
Region's
web site
and
click on
the
graphic
of the
photographer.
2011
Regional
Fund-Raiser
There
was no
fund-raiser
scheduled
in our
Region
for
2010.
Cat Club
of the
Palm
Beaches
moved
their
traditional
show
from the
4th
weekend
of
November
to the
third
weekend
of that
month to
take
advantage
of the
hole in
our
schedule
this
year.
Although
I
previously
posted
that the
North
Atlantic
Regional
Director
invited
us to
hold a
joint-venture
fund
raiser
on the
third
weekend
of
November,
2011
(the
weekend
previously
used for
the CFA
International
Cat
Show),
he has
changed
his
mind.
President
Hamza
encourages
us to
use that
weekend
for
regional
fund-raising,
so I am
working
to come
up with
a Region
7
fund-raiser.
When I
have
things
firmed
up, I'll
be sure
to share
the
details.
