Bernard Turpin-16b_web.jpg (88219 bytes)It has been a busy time for the Executive Committee of the MFCA since we met in Lunenburg in June.  

First, I’d like to acknowledge the hard work done by our Lunenburg County host committee. The meetings and sessions went well, the speakers packed the house and didn’t disappoint. The food and entertainment reflected the reputation for hospitality along the South Shore.  Thanks to all who made it possible for a great effort and conference.  

Since the conference, the Executive has been busy dealing with the resignation of John Robart from the Secretary-Treasurer position.  John provided many years of service in this capacity and did it well.  Thanks John.  

The Executive Committee members have taken on aspects of the Secretary-Treasurer’s workload in the short term.   A committee has been appointed to review the position and make a recommendation as to how we will carry out these duties in the future.  Discussion of the recommendations will take place at the Spring Executive Committee meeting and be brought before the membership in July.  

I am pleased to report that the 2009 Conference Committee from Pictou County has worked very  hard to be prepared for our 95th Conference.  Following Lunenburg County’s example they have booked excellent speakers and are planning an interesting program for all who attend.  Details are starting to emerge on the conference website http://www.mfca2009.ca/

At our Fall Executive meeting we also addressed the financial situation of the association.  While it is unlikely we can cure the situation quickly, steps have been taken to reduce the drain on our investment resources.  We are hopeful that a new revenue sharing arrangement between the conference host committee and the MFCA will allow us to rectify the situation.  Other revenue sources are being investigated, as well.
