From the Desk of The Executive Director...Dr. Fred J. Halik
Welcome to the New Year.
All of the grant applications that were approved have been notified concerning their status and funding amounts. Those rejected were also notified. Contracts were sent out and all were returned.
The dental school in Puerto Rico realized that telling us that all their scholarship programs for 2006 were cancelled was a colossal blunder on their part and we were able to refund them for the Foundation.
Treasurer William Kort informed me that the Foundation needed to expend more funds to avoid any tax problem. With the consent of Foundation President David Campbell and Treasurer Kort, three additional programs were resurrected and funded.
Bank of America in their zealous effort to protect our account from apparent fraud, bounced several checks which our financial manager Frank Buchholz rectified quickly and the problem was solved.
