	Foundation News
	Since 1996, your Foundation has distributed $675,900 in scholarships, $970,540 in grants, $261,200 in PFA grants, and $45,000 to the Loader-Espinach Award for a total amount of $1,952,640 over this time. Your contributions to your Foundation are carefully apportioned to best serve our profession and to the public it serves. Foundation Executive Director Shig Ryan Kishi notes that as of 25 May, 17 letters were sent to non-U.S. dental school deans requesting the names for the Foundation scholarship winners to be submitted by the 14 July deadline. Yet to respond were deans from Germany, Netherlands, Korea, Peru, and Pakistan. Of the U.S. schools, 51 out of 53 have responded. Grant requests were for 93 applications with 10 going to Section Chairs. Thirty-six were received completed. Eighteen were sent to the grant application committee for review. These totaled $146,604. Eighteen applications, totaling $160,000, were rejected. The lawsuits brought against the Foundation in Costa Rica have all been dismissed. The Foundation has no further legal obligations in Costa Rica. President Haruo Morita of the J. Morita Corporation, a dental supplier, has donated $500 to the Foundation Student Scholarship Fund. All of us in the Foundation and the Academy thank Mr. Morita for his generosity. In the 18 March 2002 edition of the ADA News (at the top of page two), an article appeared that stated that “the PFA Foundation is seeking applications for grants it will award in 2002 to students and programs.” This article suggested applying for such to the Foundation. The article was incorrect in that the scholarship winners are selected by their dental school deans and not by the Foundation. This error was called to the attention of the ADA News, but so far no correction had been published. Many PFA Officers and the Foundation have been besieged by calls and e-mails requesting such awards. Please note that the Foundation’s Scholarship Award recipients are selected by the dental school deans themselves and not by the Foundation on an individual student request basis. We simply have no procedure to judge any student from the 81 scholarships awarded. This must be left up to each dental school to make that selection based on their knowledge of their students. We understand the requests that have generated from the ADA News article and regret the inconvenience on all those searching for such funding. But we did not generate that news article, and we have made several attempts to have it corrected as quickly as possible. Dr. Carl Lundgren attended the April meeting of the Association of Dental Foundation Executives. His recommendation for membership will be submitted to the Board. The Officers Bonding Policy from Travelers Insurance has been renewed. All reports for the Foundation Meeting are due in the Foundation Office by 3 September 2002 to be included in the meeting packet.
	From the Desk of the Foundation Vice President…
	Dr. Carl Lundgren writes that when the present Foundation grant format was first developed in 1994, the $300,000 income that was available for awards was divided into two groups: (1) student scholarships—82 at $1200 for a total of $98,400; and (2) $200,000 for grants. Now that the scholarship program with 81 awards has increased the individual funding to $1500; this increase of $23,100 comes from the monies available for grants. The Academy requests have also increased from $40,000 last year to $55,000 for the coming year. The $7500 annual Award to Costa Rica for the Brenes Espinach-Loader Award will continue indefinitely. All of this reduces the amount of funds available for grant programs. Last year was unusual in that there was an additional $82,000 remaining in the funds from the previous years that had been carried over, but this needed to be distributed per IRS regulations, or a 15% tax would have to be paid on the surplus. The consensus of the Foundation Executive Board, and that of the Grant Committee, is that the Academy’s requests for funds be treated in the same manner as any other grant request, with the exception that a full application form will not be required. That is to say that the Academy’s requests be broken down to their individual categories and assigned grant numbers to each. Then such requests will be evaluated and discussed separately as the other grant applications for consideration by the Foundation Board. This will require that the Academy supply a full page or more of information concerning who, what, where, when, how, and the history for each request so that the Board members can evaluate the need for funding. And it is important that this be done in a timely fashion for the Grants Committee to review the requests. The will of Dr. Brenes Espinach, from whence the majority of our funds stems, stipulated that we use his legacy for direct humanitarian purposes, which the Foundation has been properly doing. This change in procedure for the Academy brings their requests in line with the established Grant Evaluation Program procedures to insure we follow Dr. Espinach’s wishes.

	France
	La Lettre des Ordre National des Chirurgiens-Dentistes, the Journal of the French Dental Association, in their April 2002 issue, included an article on the presentation of the Foundation’s $10,000 check by International Trustee for Europe Pierre Marois to Dr. Andrè Robert, President of the National Council, for the Paris mobile dental clinic. Every year that the PFA International Officers have attended the Hall of Fame venue at their Headquarters, we have been given a tour of the mobile clinic for the underserved of Paris. Caroline Chazanne of Nantes University received the Foundation’s Scholarship Award at a Paris ceremony. French Section Chair Hubert Ouvrard presided with Section Secretary Charles Gastaud and Deans Henri Hamel of Nantes University and Marie-Laure Boy-Lefevre of Paris No. 7 University Dental School.

	California The Children’s Dental Health Association newsletter The Smile for April 2002, which serves San Diego’s underprivileged children, published a list of clinic donors that included the PFA Foundation. PFA Gold Medal recipient James Vernetti (1999) was also included in the list. The April issue of CDA Update contained an article on St. Leo’s Dental Clinic in Solana Beach, which had been initiated by Rotarians and staffed by volunteer dentists using donated equipment. The clinic has been surviving on donations and a $10 fee per patient, if they can afford it. The Foundation’s $10,000 grant will help to upgrade badly needed equipment and pay for non-donated services. Illinois Past PFA President William Kort attended the University of Illinois Honors Day where our Foundation Award was presented. Michigan Past PFA President M. David Campbell presented the Foundation Scholarship Award to David Studt at the University of Detroit Mercy during the Michigan Section Breakfast held at the Detroit Dental review last November along with dental school Dean H. Robert Steiman. This event was reported in the University of Detroit-Mercy’s dental alumni magazine. Minnesota International Trustee Michael Perpich with Section Chairman Michael Shafhauser presented a check for $10,000 to Kathleen McCulough-Zander for the Center for Victims of Torture.		Nevada The Spring 2002 Nevada Dental Journal issue printed an article on the PFA Foundation’s $5000 donation to the Dental Assisting Program at the Community College of Southern Nevada. The grant will be used to purchase needed equipment for their program that serves the greater Las Vegas area. The program has tripled in size since its inception in 1996, with Las Vegas being the fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States. They have 74 students enrolled in dental assisting, of which 30 will be graduating this spring. Our Secretary/Treasurer Richard A. Kozal has been selected by the students to be their Commencement Speaker. New York The SUNY at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine presented their 2001 Scholarship Award to Victor Joseph Grazina and their 2002 Award to Amie M. McCarthy. Oregon Associate Dean for Student Affairs for the Oregon Health and Science University School of Dentistry Nora Cromley has announced the 2002 Foundation Scholarship recipient as David Baker. Texas The University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston has selected Jarrod Edward Jones to receive the 2002 Foundation Scholarship Award.


	Section News Japan
	International Trustee Mamoru Sakuda reports that Fellow Dr. Masanori Kawaguchi was honored by Kyoto Governor Prefecture last November for his 50 years of dental service to leprosy patients in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Thailand, and Laos. Dr. Kawaguchi then received the Welfare Award from the Kyoto Shimbun newspaper last March. Dr. Masanori Kawaguchi is the ideal representative of PFA professionals. In 1952, while studying at the Osaka Dental College, Dr. Kawaguchi organized the students for volunteer activities, which today is called the Umemoto Memorial Service Group for Lepra, to treat leper patients in some six countries that have been forced to live in isolated colonies with no dental treatment. His organization has attempted to sweep away the groundless prejudices against lepers. After becoming a PFA Fellow in 1972, he has worked with the Japan Section to uplift and develop the spirit of our profession. His organization has three PFA Fellows volunteering for service to the leper colonies. Truly a hero in dentistry, Dr. Kawaguchi deserves such honors from us all.

	Switzerland Chair Roland Sollner held their annual meeting at the Turmaulac Restaurant last May at the Arteplage in Bienne during the opening of the EXPO 02 (World’s Fair) which is held in Switzerland every 25 years. New Fellows inducted were Drs. Marechaux and Birchmeier. Kenya Dr. Pankaj Patel has accepted the position as Chairman of initiating a new PFA Section in Kenya. He expressed a desire to spread PFA to the other 54 African countries.		Uruguay Apologies to Chairman Roy Cooper and his Fellows for not receiving the last issue of Dental World. Hopefully this error will not occur again. Chairman Roy Cooper will be holding a meeting with International Trustee Bernardo Levit in Montevideo Dental School to discuss PFA activities and Foundation grants. Dr. Cooper reports developing a project on halitosis at the dental school to be undertaken by the Biochemistry Department and the Oral Pathology Department.

	Nota Bene...		As published in the last issue, we cannot use e-mail photographs for publication. They are good for identification, but not for reprinting. Please send the original photographs. If deciding which ones to send, the first priority would be a picture of the new Fellows inducted, and their names! Second priority is award presentations. All extra photos are either reused in another issue, or filed into a picture “morgue” for future use. Thank you from your Editor.
